Man stabbed during home invasion in Rossland

A 26-year-old Beaver Falls man is expected to recover after being stabbed during a violent home invasion in Rossland.

Trail RCMP say he was attacked just after 2 a.m. Sat May 3, in a home on the 19-hundred block of Nevada St.

Policed report the man and two other residents fought off the two masked attackers, subdued a 15-year-old boy and detained him until police arrived.

He was jailed until released by a judge to his parents.

Paramedics took the injured man to Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital where he was treated for injuries that police say were not life threatening.

Trail RCMP Detachment Commander Mike Wicentowich says police do not suspect it was a random incident.

“We believe this attack was targeted and the assailants and victim knew each other,” he explained, noting violent home invasions are very rare.

“We do not believe any one else was in danger,” Wicentowich added.

Investigators want to hear from anyone with information about the other suspect and an accomplice.
