One person has been arrested after a group assault at a downtown bus loop in Kelowna, B.C., but police are still asking for witnesses or informants to come forward.
Kelowna Mounties were called to the Queensway bus loop on Saturday just before 9:00 p.m., after reports of multiple people fighting each other.
When officers arrived, they found two unconscious men and a third injured man, who was still conscious.
Police determined that one of the men had been assaulted by another group of people in the area, and the other two were injured when they jumped in to help.
The suspects fled the area prior to the arrival of police.
