On Dec. 22, 2018 at 12:35 a.m., RCMP received a report of a physical altercation that had just occurred inside a business located in the 1500 block of Dilworth Drive in Kelowna. Police responded and learned, from witnesses at the scene, that two adult males had entered into a verbal altercation that quickly escalated to a physical altercation.

One of the males sustained non-life threatening injuries. He remained at the scene and spoke with investigators. While the second unknown male departed the area prior to police arrival.
