Man arrested after assaulting 2 people and an RCMP officer: Chilliwack RCMP
CHILLIWACK – Mounties in Chilliwack handled over 800 calls for service the past week, including an incident in which an unidentified man known to police reportedly assaulted two people and an RCMP officer before being arrested.
According to a recap for the week of Monday, March 30 to Sunday, April 5 from Chilliwack RCMP spokesperson Corporal Carmen Kiener, police were called to an undisclosed facility on Trethewey Avenue after getting a report that a man allegedly assaulted another person at that same facility. Not long thereafter, police got a second report about the same man attacking a different victim with a weapon at a different location.
Corporal Kiener says the man fled the scene before police could arrive, but RCMP members were able to locate him a short time later.
“Officers recognized the man right away as he is well known to police,” Cpl. Kiener said. “During the arrest of the man, he assaulted an officer and continued to act irate.”
