Two police officers from the RCMP Southeast District General Investigation Section, which is based out of Kelowna, are helping Golden-Field RCMP with an ongoing investigation.
The Golden-Field RCMP are investigating a reported stabbing that occurred on May 8th at a local motel on the Trans-Canada Highway.
Police responded to the complaint after 9:00 p.m., where a female had allegedly been stabbed during an altercation. The victim was a 46 year-old female from Golden and sustained non-life threatening injuries. The victim was released from hospital later that evening.
One suspect has been identified as a 39-year-old from Calgary and was arrested by police in Calgary on May 9th.
"At this time we believe this was a targeted incident, in which the two parties involved were known to each other," says Constable Spencer Lainchbury with the Golden-Field RCMP. There were never any concerns relating to public safety.
Police are still looking to speak with anyone who may have witnessed the incident.
Those who have not already spoken with police can contact the Golden-Field RCMP Detachment at 250-344-2221 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
