Kelowna RCMP investigates double-stabbing

The Kelowna RCMP is investigating a double-stabbing that occurred this morning in the downtown core.

Just before 3:00 a.m., Kelowna RCMP officers were conducting patrols downtown when they observed a fight in progress in the alley south of the Fire Hall on Water Street. Officers immediately intervened and learned that two men had sustained injuries consistent with stab wounds. A 26-year-old man and 28-year-old man each sustained serious non-life-threatening injuries and were transported to hospital by EHS.

The suspect, a 33-year-old man, was arrested on scene for aggravated assault and assault with a weapon. He is currently being held in police custody as the investigation unfolds.

The investigation is on-going and is being led by the Kelowna RCMP General Investigative Services, Assault-Robbery Unit (GIS).

It is unknown at this time, what led up to this act of violence, said Cpl. Tammy Lobb, Media Relations Officer for Kelowna RCMP. If anyone has information about this stabbing, our investigators want to hear from them. Please contact the Kelowna RCMP GIS by calling 250-762-3300 and quote file number 2022-21659.
