Victoria police are investigating a series of bear spray attacks on Saturday night.
Police were called to the 900-block of Pandora Avenue around 7 p.m. for a report a man had been assaulted with bear spray. By the time they arrived, both the suspects and the victim had left.
A few hours later at 9 p.m., police were called back to the same block for a report that another man had been assaulted with bear spray. When they found him, the victim was not cooperative. Paramedics treated the victim and police were able to garner a description of the suspect.
