One man has been charged for his suspected involvement in two assaults in Surrey’s City Centre area last month.
The Surrey Police Service (SPS) says police responded to reports of the attacks at a business on City Parkway near 102 Avenue on Feb. 14.
“Two males allegedly assaulted a female at a business in the 10200 block of City Parkway. A witness intervened, and the two males then allegedly assaulted the witness with a weapon before leaving the area,” police described.
Paramedics reportedly treated the man who intervened for several injuries, including cuts and a bite wound.
In an update Wednesday, the SPS said investigators had since identified and arrested one suspect.
Last week, the BC Prosecution Service charged a 24-year-old man with one count each of assault, assault with a weapon, and failing to comply with a release order.
Police say he remains in custody pending his next court appearance on Monday.
