Kamloops police are investigating an assault with a weapon report which led to one man being hospitalized earlier this morning.
On Nov. 22, 2023, just before 4 a.m., Kamloops RCMP frontline officers were called to the 400-block of Royal Avenue, where two men could be heard fighting with a dog present. Officers arrived on scene to find one man with minor injuries; the other party involved had allegedly fled in a white jeep.
Police located the jeep heading toward the Overlander Bridge, but its driver allegedly fled from officers when they attempted a traffic stop, said Corporal Crystal Evelyn, Kamloops RCMP Detachment spokesperson. It was located shortly after in the hospital parkade, around the same time a man with visible injuries and a woman were observed walking inside.

It was located shortly after in the hospital parkade, around the same time a man with visible injuries and a woman were observed walking inside.
As a safety precaution, the hospital was locked down while officers attempted to find the pair. The woman was located inside soon after; the man was found at 6th Avenue and Columbia Street, just before 6 a.m. He was apprehended and taken to hospital with serious, non-life-threatening injuries, believed to be caused by a sharp object. The jeep was seized as part of the ongoing investigation.
Although the incident occurred early in the morning, the initial call to police involved sounds of a dog, screaming, and an engine revving, that may have disturbed those in the area and caused them to get up to look at what was going on, said Cpl. Evelyn. We’re asking people to please check their security recordings and dash camera footage, and to contact police if they witnessed or have any information related to this incident.
