Police have arrested one man for allegedly stabbing another after the two got into a fight in downtown Victoria.

At around 11 a.m. on Saturday May 9, VicPD were called to the scene of a fight between two men at a hotel in the 2800-block of Douglas Street — likely the Sandman Hotel.

Upon arrival, officers found that one of the men had sustained a stab wound to his arm, categorized as a non-life threatening injury, while the other had fled the scene in a vehicle.

Police noted down a description of the suspect and his vehicle but were unable to find him until the next day when an off-duty officer saw the suspect driving the same vehicle.

At around 8 p.m. on Sunday, May 10, police found and arrested the man near the intersection of Quadra Street and Topaz Avenue.

This file remains under investigation, and anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact VicPD at 250-995-7654 and press #1 to speak with the report desk.
