    VICTORIA — Two police officers have suffered non-life threatening injuries during an arrest in Victoria, B.C.

    Police say in a news release that after the officers found the suspect in another suite, he ran at them and was taken to the ground, but continued to fight.
     
     
    They say a woman in the suite was also arrested after she tried to stop police from taking the man into custody.
