Cpl. Michael Gauthier of the Kelowna RCMP said that the people involved knew each other and the incident is the result of a dispute between the parties.
Multiple people were arrested and one person was taken to hospital with minor injuries.
Blood splatter could be seen on the sidewalk and one witness told Capital News that they heard mention of knives.
Gauthier explained that there was a large police presence on the scene because an onlooker told the RCMP that they believed that there was a firearm involved.
However, police have since determined that there was no firearm and there was no threat to the public.
