A lunch date between a couple went sideways Wednesday in Victoria, ending with both parties suffering stab wounds.

Police were called to Cora Restaurant for a report of a stabbing inside, reports CTV News.

Officer arrived to find a woman with non-life threatening stab wounds, who was taken to hospital. The man was arrested a block away. He suffered a head injury and was also taken to hospital.

Unconfirmed reports indicate that the woman retaliated by stabbing the man with a fork.

"This is just a dispute between a male and a female that went wrong and there are some injuries that were sustained," Sgt. Wade Murray told CTV Vancouver Island.

Charges will likely be recommended, he added.
