  • 2 bystanders being praised for quick action in preventing stabbing

Mounties are praising two bystanders in Kelowna who jumped into action and disarmed a man who allegedly stabbed a woman at a bus station.

R-C-M-P say two "good samaritans" were physically detaining the suspect when an officer arrived to arrest the man.

The woman was rushed to hospital and she's expected to make a full recovery.

Police say the suspect and the victim are known to each other.
