Police are investigating after a report of an assault that allegedly involved racial slurs.
The incident took place around 4:25 p.m. on Sunday (May 1) in the 2900 block of Steveston Highway. During a family event, a man allegedly made racial remarks to the victim about his Indigenous heritage. Police say when the victim confronted the man, a physical altercation took place during which the victim was allegedly assaulted.
When police officers arrived on scene, the suspect had already left in a vehicle. However, officers were able to identify the suspect, who has since been arrested and released on an undertaking with conditions.
Following the assault, the victim allegedly threatened the suspect while brandishing a knife. There were multiple witnesses to this incident, some of whom have been interviewed. Police believe there may be more people who witnessed the incident but left prior to police arrival.
