VANCOUVER -

The Vernon, B.C., resident is recovering from multiple stab wounds he received when he was confronted by a group of young men last Friday and ordered to hand over the $1.50 in change he had in his pocket.

Semeniuk said his attackers ran off after he gave them change out of his pants pocket.

He suffered a cut liver, a punctured lung and three stab wounds to his back.

At the local soup kitchen, one resident said the incident makes matters worse for a man who has fallen on hard times.

"I know he's a hard worker, someone always looking for work to support his boys," said Andrew Yo, a resident of the Upper Room Mission.

All stabbings are bad but this one is really sad. Mr. Semeniuk wasn't very well off to begin with and these 6 guys attack/stab him for $1.50? It's pathetic and disgusting. The victim seems like a great dad (even though he isn't well off) and seems to care alot about his boys. I really hope they catch the people who did this.
