Kelowna RCMP confirm one man has been arrested after a violent stabbing, more than 24 hours after the incident occurred.
Cpl. Jocelyn Noseworthy said police officers responded to a home in the 3000 block of Seratoga Road on Feb. 21, just after 2 p.m.
A man allegedly broke into the residence and assaulted another man with an “edged weapon.”
The victim was transported to the hospital with serious injuries, police said.
The suspect was arrested on the scene and remains in custody.
Police have not released the name of the 42-year-old accused assailant, stating the full findings of the investigation will be submitted to the BC Prosecution Service for charge approval.
On Tuesday, RCMP said the victim and suspect are known to each other.
“This is an active investigation, and anyone with knowledge of this matter is asked to contact police,” Noseworthy said.
