On June 4, just before 11:30 p.m., Kelowna RCMP was called to the 1300 and 1400 blocks of Water Street for a report of multiple people fighting in the park space area between Stuart Park and the Cactus Club Restaurant.

Mounties flooded the area and located two victims suffering from apparent stab wounds.

The two victims, both 19-year-old men, were transported to the hospital for treatment.
