One man is in hospital with serious facial injuries and another in jail following an altercation at Fisherman’s Wharf Thursday night.
The Victoria Police Department responded around 9:30 p.m. to a 911 call from a man who said his friend had been attacked at the wharf in James Bay.
Police found a 22-year-old man bleeding from serious facial injuries and he was soon transported to hospital, where he remains today.
A short distance away, VicPD officers arrested a 27-year-old Victoria man with blood on his clothing. The suspect is a resident of the area, said Const. Mike Russell.
The two men know one another, but police are looking for witnesses to the altercation.
