RCMP say a man and a woman were reportedly throwing eggs at the crowd. When the victim confronted the two, they attacked him before fleeing westbound toward Riverside Park.

The male suspect was wearing a ski mask and a blue shirt while the woman, described as white with brown hair, was reportedly wearing a ghillie suit — a type of camouflage meant to make the wearer look like bushes or foliage.

Anyone with further information is asked to contact Kamloops RCMP at (250) 828-3000 and cite file number 2022-11424.
