A man was allegedly targeted and stabbed several times in B.C.’s Shuswap region on Monday night.
According to Salmon Arm RCMP, it’s believed the man was stabbed multiple times in Blind Bay, and that the assault was carried out at a car wash at approximately 10:30 p.m.
Police say following the stabbing, the man, bleeding heavily, showed up at the front door of a home on Forest drive, requesting help, with emergency crews quickly responding.
“Our investigators believe that as many as three suspects were involved in the physical confrontation, which resulted in the victim being stabbed multiple times,” said Cpl. Jesse O’Donaghey.
“Although it is early on in the investigation, RCMP has reason to believe the incident was targeted in nature. In an effort to advance its investigation, the RCMP is urging any and all witnesses to come forward.”
Police say the victim is a 30-year-old man from the Shuswap area, and that his injuries are not considered to be life-threatening.
They also said the RCMP’s Integrated Forensic Identification Section examined the scene, and gathered and seized physical evidence.
