A Salmon Arm man has been arrested after an alleged stabbing at a traffic light on the Trans-Canada Highway near Highway 97B.
On March 1, a man and two witnesses arrived at the Salmon Arm RCMP detachment and reported he had been stabbed during an altercation at a traffic light.
Police said the man had significant wounds and was taken to a local hospital.
“Officers identified a suspect vehicle, located it and arrested the driver,” said Cpl. Brett Urano of the Salmon Arm RCMP.
