A senior at Penticton’s Wal-Mart was allegedly assaulted last Tuesday when someone took issue with his parking.
It was around 7:20 a.m., on Dec. 5, when an 85-year-old man arrived at the Penticton Wal-Mart, only to be met by a man who argued with him about how he’d parked his car.
“At one point during the altercation, the suspect tripped the victim, and subsequently fled in a dark-coloured SUV,” RCMP said in a press release.
“The victim attended the hospital, where he was treated for non-life-threatening injuries.”
