A man told police he was sleeping when he was assaulted by a woman with a bat in downtown Kamloops Monday morning.
Kamloops RCMP were called to the area around 9 a.m. when a witness heard yelling and saw a woman swing a bat at 5 Avenue and Seymour Street, according to a news release.
The witness then saw a man emerge with something in his hand that "appeared to be a weapon." Police didn't say if he retaliated, but the woman then drove away down an alley as she left the scene.
“Officers located a victim who stated he had been sleeping on the stairs when he was struck and didn’t know who was responsible,” Kamloops RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Crystal Evelyn said in a news release. "No notable injuries were reported."
Police did find the suspect's vehicle near Riverside Park and seized a bat from inside. The vehicle, however, was abandoned.
