British Columbia Premier David Eby says he was “profoundly disturbed” to hear that a provincial Crown prosecutor had been assaulted in Vancouver.
Eby says he’s been told the woman is receiving medical care, while Vancouver police confirm they’re investigating two assaults and a suspect remains in custody.
The premier told an unrelated news conference that in order for the justice system to work, everyone who keeps it running must be kept safe while they’re on the job.
