Fights lead to stabbings in Kelowna’s downtown

RCMP are looking to talk to more witnesses after two men were stabbed in downtown Kelowna.

On Friday June 4, just before 11:30 p.m., Mounties were called to the 1300 & 1400 blocks of Water Street for a report of multiple people fighting in the park space between Stuart Park and the Cactus Club Restaurant.

“Officers flooded the area and located two victims suffering from apparent stab wounds,” Cpl. Jesse O’Donaghey with the RCMP Southeast District, said.

The victims, both 19-year-old men, were transported to hospital for treatment of what police believe to be non-life threatening injuries.

“At this time, no arrests have been made and the investigation is being led by the Kelowna RCMP General Investigation Section,” O’Donaghey said. “This area of Kelowna’s downtown is often quite busy into the evening and GIS investigators believe that there were likely more witnesses to this stabbing incident who have yet to come forward. We are urging anyone with any information with respect to this incident to contact police.”

Any business with video surveillance cameras in the area, or any motorists with a dash camera who may have been travelling through that area, is asked to review their footage from Friday night.

Anyone who may have captured cell phone video of the altercation is urged to contact the General Investigation Section at 250-762-3300.
