The long weekend in Keremeos got off to a violent start late Friday evening when an altercation in the parking lot of the Red Bridge Pub resulted in three people being treated for stab wounds.
The incident occurred shortly after midnight at the downtown Keremeos bar. None of the victims suffered life threatening wounds.
Police arrested a 34 year old North Vancouver man, who has been charged with three counts of assault causing bodily harm.
On Saturday, August 4, at 8:45 p.m., a local male suffered a serious assault in the Pine Park area. The man might have sustained two broken ribs in the incident that resulted in a 33 year old Surrey man being arrrested for assault.
Following Saturday’s incident, reports of a man throwing rocks down the bench from the Hilltop Esso area resulted in police charging the same male who was involved in Saturday’s incident with assaulting a police officer.
Police arriving at the scene of the complaint were bombarded with rocks thrown at their police cruiser. The man was arrested after a short pursuit.
