One man in hospital after stabbing outside Granville Street hotel

One man was taken to hospital with stab wounds after a fight broke out on Granville Street early Saturday morning.

The attack happened outside the Ramada Inn just after 2 a.m.

"I thought he was drunk at first, but then I realized he'd been stabbed," said Chris Campbell, who was in a nearby pub when he heard the fight going on outside.

Campbell rushedoutside and immediately started putting pressure on the victim's wounds after seeing the man lying on the ground bleeding.

"People don't react really quickly they're looking around wondering what they should do, but if someone's bleeding, you just apply pressure," he said. "So that's what I did."

First responders arrived and continued to treat the man for stab wounds. He was rushed to hospital with serious injuries, but in stable condition.

Campbell said he saw the suspect flee southbound on Granville Street alone.

Vancouver Police continue to investigate the attack.
