A man was bear-sprayed and stabbed several times Saturday morning at a temporary housing facility in Victoria.

Shortly after 11 a.m., police were called to a multi-unit temporary housing facility in the 100-block of Gorge Road East after receiving reports that one or more people had been bear sprayed. Officers located one man who had been bear-sprayed and stabbed several times. He was transported to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Police identified a suspect in one of the housing facility suites and, after she briefly barricaded herself inside, arrested her and transported her to cells.
