SURREY, B.C. — The RCMP say one man is in custody following an alleged fatal assault in Surrey, B.C.

Despite efforts to save the man, he died at the scene.

The RCMP says one man has been arrested and they believe the two men knew one another.

They say there is no indication of gang involvement and they do not believe there is any ongoing concern for public safety.
