Victoria, BC – Just after 5 p.m. on Sunday, March 17, officers were called to the intersection of Douglas Street and Belleville Street after a cyclist was knocked off their bike by a vehicle.
Officers determined that the cyclist had been at the intersection of Government and Belleville Street when the driver of a black sport utility vehicle (SUV) spat at them through their open window. The cyclist and driver met again near the intersection of Douglas Street and Belleville Street when the cyclist attempted to confront the driver. They were then struck by the vehicle and knocked off their bike.
