Two men have been arrested following reports of an attempted knifepoint robbery in downtown Victoria Thursday evening.
Victoria police were called to the intersection of View and Broad streets just before 8:30 p.m. last night after a man allegedly brandishing a knife at two others.
Officers flooded the area and spoke with the victims and witnesses. They pointed out the suspect who was in the process of leaving the area.
Officers were able to take the man into custody without further incident.
None of the victims were physically injured.
Further investigation led officers to seize a knife and take another man into custody for his involvement in the incident.
Officers are recommending charges for assault with a weapon and the possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose for the two men.
