Two Women In Custody In Victoria After Separate Alleged Assaults On Police

The Canadian Press, 23 Feb, 2018 06:28 PM
    VICTORIA — The Victoria Police Department says two of its officers were assaulted in separate incidents.
     
     
    One officer required hospital treatment after intervening in a struggle in downtown Victoria early Friday morning.
     
     
    Police say a young woman involved in the struggle allegedly attacked the officer and was taken into custody as other constables arrived to break up the fight and arrest the other combatants.
     
     
    A news release from the department doesn't describe the injuries but says charges of assaulting a police officer and assault causing bodily harm are being recommended against the woman.
     
     
    Only a few hours earlier and just blocks away, police say two officers approached a young woman who was camping illegally and offered her a ride to a legal campsite but she was aggressive toward both officers, allegedly assaulting one.
     
     
    The officer was not hurt and the woman was arrested.
