Two people have sustained injuries after a random attack at a North Saanich parking lot on March 23.

A seemingly random attack at a North Saanich parking lot on Sunday night left two people requiring hospital treatment.

The incident occurred around 11 p.m. in the parking lot outside the Firehouse Subs Sandown Park on Sunday (March 23).

A young woman claimed she and her partner were allegedly attacked by an unidentified male.

The woman described the confrontation with a Caucasian male, likely in his mid-30s: "He punched me in the face, kicked me while I was down and stomped on my head. Then he and my boyfriend scrapped for a couple of seconds, breaking his nose and then he took off running, leaving his bike."

According to her Facebook post, police responded to the scene and paramedics transported them to Victoria General Hospital for examination and treatment of their injuries.

Sidney/North Saanich RCMP said the description of the incident posted on social media "was embellished and not truthful."

RCMP conducted an investigation using CCTV and issued three violation tickets; no criminal charges have been filed at this time.
