A man stabbed four times with a knife during a road rage attack is making a public plea to find the driver responsible.
Jude Grace told CBC News the incident began when he honked his horn at another driver at the intersection of 128th Street and 104th Avenue in Surrey on Nov. 5.
The other driver took exception, tailgated him and yelled at him to pull over, said Grace on Tuesday.
Grace said he shouted back at the man and tapped his brakes, but after eight blocks, he made a sharp right turn onto Scott Road in an effort to shake the other driver.
"He seen that. He drove over the median, blocked off the road in front of me," said Grace.
"My front left bumper contacted his right rear bumper. I proceeded to put my car in park.
"He ran to my side window, it was three quarters of the way rolled down. He stabbed me four times through the window.
"He then ran back to his car, bent his plate up, and then took off," said Grace, who suffered severe but not life-threatening injuries. He required surgery for his hand, and one of the knife wounds nearly pierced his heart.
Police are looking for a man in his early 20s with short, spiky blond hair and a thin, muscular build.
There were several witnesses, but the only description of the vehicle is a newer model white Honda or Acura with damage to the rear bumper, said police.
Grace is hoping that a woman in the passenger seat of the attacker's car might come forward or that someone the couple has spoken with might call in an anonymous tip.
