Serious assault under investigation
Kimberley RCMP is currently investigating an incident that took place Sunday afternoon (April 7).
BC Ambulance was initially contacted when a person involved in a fight sustained a serious injury. Given the circumstances police were notified.
The two subjects got into a physical altercation with each other just after 3 p.m. One male sustained serious injuries when he fell into a glass table. He was rushed to East Kootenay Regional Hospital and later transferred to a Calgary hospital.
The incident took place at the victim’s residence on Highway 95A just east of the City of Kimberley. A male subject from Cranbrook was arrested on scene and lodged in cells.
The investigation is ongoing and evidence will be subject to review by Crown Counsel prior to any charges being laid, reported Sgt. Chris Newel, Kimberley RCMP Detachment commander.
The victim has undergone surgery and is in stable condition.
