Victoria police arrested a man Monday night after three people were apparently randomly assaulted downtown, including one woman who was taken to hospital after she was pushed over a bench and hit her head on the sidewalk.
Police responded about 9:15 p.m. after receiving multiple 911 calls about a man in the 1000-block of Government Street who was trying to fight with people.
Witnesses said a man was yelling, swearing and pushing people and tables as he walked along the street.
Officers found a suspect in Waddington Alley with help from witnesses.
The suspect was not known to any of the victims.
He has been charged with two counts of assault and one count of assault bodily harm.
Anyone who saw what happened and has not yet spoken with officers is asked to call Victoria police at 250-995-7654.
