One man was taken to hospital after police were called to a report of a stabbing in Valleyview late Tuesday night.

On March 4, 2025, around 10:35 p.m., Kamloops RCMP frontline officers responded to the 1700-block of the Trans Canada Highway East, where a man was suffering from what appeared to be stab wounds. He was transported to hospital by ambulance with non-life-threatening injuries.

According to the report, the victim had been in a gas station parking lot when he approached a vehicle and a confrontation occurred. The victim was assaulted outside of a nearby restaurant soon after.

Thanks to the quick response and investigational efforts of the responding officers, police were able to locate the vehicle and arrest a suspect, said Corporal Crystal Evelyn, Kamloops RCMP Detachment spokesperson.

A Kamloops man was later released with a court date and conditions. Charge recommendations are anticipated.

If anyone witnessed or has information related to this incident, including dashcam or security footage, please contact the Kamloops RCMP Detachment at 250-828-3000 and reference file 2025-6183.
