Mounties in Salmon Arm, B.C., say a man has been arrested and charged following a stabbing last weekend.

On Sunday, a man with two witnesses went to the Salmon Arm RCMP detachment to report he was stabbed during an altercation at a traffic light on the Trans-Canada Highway near Highway 97B, according to police.

“The man was found to have a significant laceration and Emergency Health Services attended the detachment and transported him to the hospital,” police wrote in a statement Tuesday.

“Officers identified a suspect vehicle, located it and arrested the driver.”

Calvin Pavey, a 52-year-old Salmon Arm resident, was charged with one count each of assault with a weapon and aggravated assault on Monday. He has been released from custody with conditions.

The investigation into the incident continues and police asked anyone who witnessed it or has dash-cam video to call the Salmon Arm detachment.
