Members of the Campbell River RCMP detachment responded to a call involving a violent attack with a weapon in the 700 block of Dogwood Street Monday afternoon.

A female victim sustained significant injuries as a result of the attack and was transported to hospital in serious but stable condition, Campbell River RCMP said.

While no formal charges have as yet been laid, police have arrested a male involved in the crime and are investigating the incident.

Police have also determined that the male was known to the victim.

“We believe this to be a targeted attack and no risk to the general public. As always, the safety and security of the community is priority and we will continue to focus on this,” said Inspector Jeff Preston.
