Witnesses told police that the man had been attacked by a group of people who had fled the scene westbound down Bernard Avenue.
“Patrols by officers were unsuccessful in locating the suspects, which are believed to be known by the victim,” Della-Paolera said.
“This kind of attack on someone is completely unacceptable and the Kelowna RCMP will exhaust all investigational avenues in order to identify and arrest those responsible.”
