KAMLOOPS — A 19 year old man remains in hospital with serious injuries after a bizarre altercation in Brocklehurst – and now the man alleged to have attacked him has been charged with attempted murder.

Kamloops RCMP Corporal Jodi Shelkie says it began before 5 o’clock Sunday morning when a Holt Street resident looked out his window and saw the man standing on his driveway.

Shelkie says that led to a physical confrontation involving a weapon.

“The victim is 19 years old, and he is in hospital now with very serious and potentially life threatening injuries,” stated Shelkie.
