No arrests have been made after a man was assaulted at a North Okanagan campground.

RCMP say the incident took place in the early hours of Sunday, April 30 at the Hidden Lake forest service campground near Ashton Creek, east of Enderby.

Police say a group of young people was camping in the area and met up around a campfire with another group of young people who were not known to them.

“As the evening progressed, an argument ensued between a 21-year-old man and three individuals from the unknown group,” Cpl. Tania Finn said.

“When the man sought refuge in his vehicle, the three persons followed him and caused a significant amount of damage to his vehicle.”
