CHILLIWACK – A spokesperson for the Chilliwack RCMP detachment has confirmed to Fraser Valley Today that three people were hospitalized and three people were arrested following two separate assault incidents during the weekend.

RCMP Corporal Carmen Kiener says police attended an incident that resulted in injuries near Portage Park Friday night. Portage Park is located approximately three to four blocks east of Chilliwack Secondary School.

Scanner traffic indicated two people were allegedly stabbed near Portage Park late Friday night.

As a result of this incident, two adult victims were taken to the hospital; two youths and one adult were arrested, Cpl. Kiener said.

“I am waiting for BCPS (B.C. Prosecution Service) to review a media release before I share further information,” Cpl. Kiener said Sunday.

On Saturday night, police responded to a report of an assault near Peach Park at about 11 p.m. Emergency responders including RCMP, Chilliwack Fire Department and B.C. EHS paramedics responded code 3 to the southern end of Peach Road.

Corporal Kiener says one youth was located with serious injuries and was taken to the hospital.

“No arrests have been made as investigators continue to advance this file. Preliminary information suggests more than one large group of youths were involved in this situation,” Cpl. Kiener said Sunday. “Initial reports suggested bear mace was involved.”

Scanner traffic indicated a person had been allegedly stabbed, while fire crews were asked to attend for a decontamination pepper spray incident near Peach Park.
