Victoria police say a woman was arrested after she tried to interrupt paramedics from treating someone who was suffering from an overdose, and after she allegedly assaulted a VicPD officer.
Police say they were called to the 900-block of Pandora Avenue around 7:50 p.m. Sunday to help paramedics revive someone suffering from an overdose.
An officer then grabbed the woman by the arm and moved her away from the scene while paramedics continued to work. "The woman again attempted to move towards where paramedics were working, so the officer then walked the woman to the corner of Pandora Avenue and Quadra Street," said VicPD in a release Monday.
Police say the officer "took the woman to the ground" and held her there until more officers arrived and helped take her into custody.
