Police had to use a Taser to arrest a man accused of assaulting another man, and other people, at Kal Beach in Coldstream Sunday evening.
RCMP received multiple reports of a man assaulting people at the popular site on Kalamalka Road.
“At approximately 8 p.m., police dispatch was advised of an altercation between two men on Kal Pier where one man was punched unconscious and fell into the water,” said media relations officer Cpl. Tania Finn. “While witnesses assisted the victim out of the water, the suspect continued to assault other people on the pier and beach.”
Finn said officers responded to the area and located the suspect in the parking lot where he was advised he was under arrest for assault, but the suspect refused to comply and fled on foot toward the train trestle over Kalamalka Road.
