Kamloops RCMP are looking for witnesses after a youth was assaulted with a weapon in a park Friday night.
Officers were in Pioneer Park when a group came running from the beach and said someone had been stabbed around 9:05 p.m. on Friday, April 8, according to a Kamloops RCMP media release.
“Officers attended an area and located numerous intoxicated youths, and a male with injuries consistent to be being struck by a sharp object,” Kamloops RCMP spokesperson Const. Crystal Evelyn said in the release.
A male in a ski mask and blue shirt, along with a Caucasian female with brown hair who was wearing a ghillie suit, were throwing eggs at the crowd.
The victim allegedly confronted the pair and was attacked, before the pair fled westbound.
A male was taken to the hospital by ambulance and treated for non-life-threatening injuries, RCMP said.
Anyone who witnessed or has information about this investigation is asked to contact the Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000 and reference file 2022-11424.
