Two officers assaulted in Saanich

A police officer received significant injuries to his hand while helping clear out a house party in Saanich early this morning.

Details surrounding how he was injured are under investigation, but two men and a woman in their early twenties were arrested.

Meanwhile, later this morning in Saanich, two police officers received minor injuries as they responded to a man acting aggressive.

No charges were laid, and police offered the man a ride home–but as they let him out of handcuffs, the man punched one officer in the face.

Another officer scraped his face on the road while trying to subdue the man.

The thirty six year old man has a history of assaulting officers and is now undergoing a mental health evaluation.
