According to Kelowna RCMP, the altercation happened just before 8 a.m., at a construction site along Foxtail Terrace.

There, a worker arrived and spotted two people in a nearby vehicle. The worker approached the vehicle, and the three got into a verbal disagreement.

“One of the occupants of the vehicle produced what is believed to have been an imitation firearm and injured the victim before ramming his vehicle and fleeing the area,” RCMP said in a statement.

The worker, a 42-year-old Kelowna man, was treated at hospital for undisclosed non-life-threatening injuries.
