Police are still seeking the assistance of anyone who may have witnessed an assault in downtown Kelowna on the long weekend.

 

On August 6th, 2012 at 1:20am, while conducting vehicle patrols in the downtown core, an RCMP member was waved down and advised of an assault that had just occurred on the corner of Bernard Avenue and Ellis Street. Apparently two men had been assaulted by a larger group, with at least one of the victims suffering serious non-life threatening injuries. Both men were taken to the hospital for medical treatment.

 

Witness reports indicated that there were 5-6 men involved in the assault, which appeared to be unprovoked. The suspects are described to all be about 25-30 years of age with large builds in the range of 240lbs. One man was seen wearing a white tank top.

 

Police have spoken with a number of witnesses but are seeking further information in an attempt to identify suspects. Anyone with any information regarding this crime is asked to call the Kelowna RCMP, Cst McQuade, at 250-762-3300.
