The victim was walking to their car in the parking lot when the assailant approached them and stabbed them, Const. Emily Mitchell said in a statement released Wednesday.
She said the assailant then fled before officers arrived.
The victim was taken to hospital and treated for injuries that were not considered life-threatening.
Investigators subsequently identified a suspect in the stabbing and they have released his photo, who was previously known to police, hoping members of the public can help track him down.
