Man stabbed near Overlanders Bridge in targeted incident Wednesday: Kamloops RCMP

KAMLOOPS — Mounties in Kamloops are investigating what they believe was a targeted stabbing near the Overlanders Bridge Wednesday (Jan. 22) night.

Kamloops RCMP say they were called to Tranquille Road and Don Street around 10:15 p.m. to reports of a stabbing. They say officers found a man “with an injury consistent with a stab wound” when they got to the scene.

In a news release issued Thursday, Kamloops RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Crystal Evelyn says the man was taken to Royal Inland Hospital by ambulance and is expected to recover.

“Luckily, a passerby found the victim in a bush and applied pressure to the injured area, while emergency responders were en route,” Evelyn said, in a statement.
