Hamilton police have released photos of a man wanted in connection with a [stabbing last week](https://archive.ph/o/jyiQr/https://www.thespec.com/news/crime/hamilton-police-investigating-stabbing-at-west-harbour-go/article_b8d31673-f5bb-597a-bb7a-c09e72b9b54b.html) at West Harbour GO station.

The photos of the suspect were taken during the July 23 altercation — which began after the victim noticed a stranger rummaging through his luggage.

Police said the victim, a 22-year-old local man, briefly left his stuff unattended while he helped a friend whose car broke down. The friend had just dropped the victim off at the station.

The victim at one point turned around to find the suspect going through his luggage, police said. An altercation unfolded after the suspect ignored repeated requests to go away.

Police said the suspect stabbed the victim before he fled the area on foot.

The victim was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Police describe the suspect as light-skinned, around 30 years old and five feet nine inches tall with a balding hairline and dark beard. He was wearing a green tank top, light-coloured shorts and dark sunglasses on the day of the assault.

Anyone who witnessed the incident or has information is asked to call police at [905-546-4725](tel:905-546-4725).
