At least two people may have been stabbed, one seriously, on Harvey Avenue and Gordon Drive in Kelowna.
Ashton Light told Castanet News that he was stopped at a red light when he saw a man on the ground.
Light says he got out of his car and took care of the man.
He says a woman and her husband said her boyfriend had been stabbed.
“His eyes were empty, he was white as a ghost,” Light said.
He says he opened the man’s jacket, lifted his shirt and saw a two-inch slit just below the man’s left nipple.
“I was on the phone with 911, telling them that this man had been stabbed when another man came to me and said that he had also been stabbed.
The RCMP has erected two privacy barriers at the site of Harvey’s incident directly opposite Dairy Queen.
Castanet turned to the local RCMP for more information.
