1 Arrested After Taxi Driver Stabbed in Downtown Kelowna

On Sept. 2, Jarmanpreet Singh, a taxi driver, was stabbed several times while working in downtown Kelowna near Water Street and Bernard Avenue, and one person was arrested, Kelowna RCMP said.
The fare dispute began when the two passengers were paid for by a payer with only $100 for a $10 fare, but Singh had only $75 change and cab drivers typically carry just $40.
They opened Singh's door and stabbed him with a large knife in his arm and leg; he suffered wounds to both hands and one leg, received more than 30 stitches, and is awaiting surgery while resting at home.
Kelowna Cabs launched a fundraising appeal asking for e-transfers to cover Singh's medical expenses, lost wages, and living costs, while the cab company board ensured support despite his just two shifts.
MLA Gavin Dew called for provincial action on mental health and urged witnesses to contact Kelowna RCMP at 250-762-3300, file #2025-52851; Dew said, `I was shocked, but not surprised`.
