UPDATE: Thursday, April 30

A 45-year-old man is in hospital with life-threatening injuries after he was stabbed, Wednesday, in West Kelowna.

RCMP spokesman Cpl. Joe Duncan said police responded to the incident at Elliott and Solar roads just before 1 p.m.

When police attended, they located a 45-year-old man suffering from a serious stab wound. He was rushed to Kelowna General Hospital, where he remains in serious condition.

A 50-year-old West Kelowna man was arrested and is in custody in connection with the incident. He is scheduled to appear in court today, in Kelowna.

Police believe the individuals knew each other and that the public is not at risk.

One man is in hospital with what police describe as serious injuries after he was stabbed at a home on Elliott Road in West Kelowna.

The entire fourplex at the corner of Elliott and Solar roads is taped off, and there are a number of RCMP investigators on the scene.

Police have taken one man into custody and say the house and the area are well known to them.

"This area is known to the police. I can't speak to any particular address but we are familiar with some of the residents," said Sgt. Mona Kauffeld.

Both the victim and the alleged suspect are middle aged. The reason for the stabbing has not yet been determined.

A police dog was brought into the area and was seen sniffing around an orchard across the street from the residence.

Castanet will have more details as they become available.
