Suspects sought in Walnut Grove beating

Man walking home from work, jumped, beaten by two strangers

A 21-year-old man walking home from his shift at a restaurant in Walnut Grove was jumped and beaten by two strangers on Saturday morning.

According to Langley RCMP, the two suspects were also seen throwing a brick through the window of Walnut Grove Secondary.

Around 2:50 a.m., the victim was walking near WGSS when two males jumped out of a silver four-door sedan and punched him in the head causing major bruising and swelling on his forehead and black eyes.

The suspects went back into the vehicle and fled.

The victim didn’t get a description of his attackers. Langley police say the file is still under investigation, and if anyone witnessed either of these incidents or has information about these suspects, they’re asked to call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200 or, if they wish to remain anonymous, call Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.
