A man is facing assault charges after two women reported being punched by a stranger while walking in downtown Victoria on Friday.
Police were called about 3 p.m. Friday for an assault in the area of Johnson and Wharf streets. A woman told officers a stranger punched her without provocation.
Bystanders followed the man and detained him for police.
He was taken to Victoria police cells, where police say he set upon an officer. The officer was unhurt.
As officers investigated, they learned of another assault that had taken place at Johnson and Wharf.
In that case, a pregnant woman told police she was punched while in the 900 block of Pandora Avenue, between Quadra and Vancouver streets.
Police are recommending charges of two counts of assault, one count of assaulting a police officer and one count of breaching a conditional-sentence order.
Anyone with information on either incident is asked to call Victoria police at 250-995-7654, extension 1, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
