KAMLOOPS — A man was sent to hospital with a head injury after an early morning assault in Valleyview.

In a news release issued Wednesday (Aug. 30) morning, Kamloops RCMP say they were called by ambulance to the 1800-block of the East Trans Canada Highway Front Road just before 5 a.m.

Police say the man is not cooperating with their investigation. His injury is suspected to be caused by a weapon, and he’s expected to recover.

A police presence was visible near Robin Road due to the assault.

“Officers, including members of the General Investigations Support Team and Forensic Identification Services Unit, were in the area as part of the ongoing investigation, which includes collecting evidence and canvassing the neighbourhood for witnesses and video, to help determine the cause of the injury and what transpired,” Cpl. Crystal Evelyn says.
