Victoria police responded to a pair reports of people with knives on Wednesday afternoon, one near Centennial Square and one in the Rock Bay area.

The Rock Bay report indicated a man with a knife had been chasing another man on Ellice Street.

A man was taken into custody for possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose and breach of a probation order.

The victim, who did not appear to be injured, was not co-operative with police.

Police continue to look for a suspect in the Centennial Square incident.

Less than an hour later, in what appears to have been an unrelated incident, police received reports of a fight in Centennial Square involving multiple people.

Officers found an injured man, who was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. They are working to find out who else was there.

Call Victoria police at 250-995-7654, extension 1, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) with any information.
