“Preliminary information from witnesses at the scene suggest that the victim and the suspect were involved in a verbal argument, which quickly escalated to a physical confrontation, where the victim was allegedly stabbed by the suspect,” says Kelowna RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Jesse O’Donaghey in a news release.

The victim underwent emergency surgery and remains in hospital in stable condition.

The 27-year-old suspect, Corey Fawcett, was arrested at the scene.

Fawcett was in court Tuesday seeking bail.
