RCMP are asking for help from the public to find a stolen vehicle they believe was involved in an assault with a weapon Friday in Kelowna.

On June 14 at 9:13 p.m., Kelowna RCMP received a report of stabbing in the 1000 block of Wilson Avenue. Emergency crews responded to the area to find the victim bleeding from a stab wound. Bystanders were providing first aid.

The victim, a Kelowna man in his 20s, was medically assessed at the scene by emergency paramedics. He was transported to hospital by BC Emergency Health Services for medical treatment which were believed to be non-life threatening.

Police are searching for two men who were associated to a stolen white 2013 four-door Dodge Dart, with B.C. licence plate GX209E. Both men were described as wearing shorts and a T-shirt. One of the suspects was further described as an Asian male, heavyset and balding.

"RCMP are actively searching for the crime vehicle at this time," said Cpl. Jesse O’Donaghey, media relations officer for the Kelowna RCMP. "Anyone who spots the Dodge Dart abandoned or mobile on our roadways, is urged not to not approach it and call 911 immediately."

"RCMP have reason to believe this was an isolated event, and not a random attack," said O’Donaghey.
