Kelowna RCMP searching for suspect after downtown stabbing

RCMP in Kelowna are searching for a male suspect they believe stabbed another man with a knife downtown on Tuesday.

Police were called to the 1600 block of Ellis Street yesterday at about 4:35 p.m. to reports that a wounded man was being supported by Kelowna Downtown On Call.

When officers arrived at the scene, they found a man in his 40s bleeding from what appeared to be a stab wound in his leg.

They determined that the wound was inflicted on the 400 block of Leon Avenue.
