Police searching for woman after two children and man bear-sprayed Thursday night

Saskatoon police are investigating after responding to two bear spray incidents Thursday night.

At approximately 9:40 p.m., police were called to a home in the 10 block of Borden Place after it was reported that two children — a 13-year-old girl and a 17-year-old boy — had been bear-sprayed by a female.

Then, approximately one hour later, patrol officers responded after a man reported having been bear-sprayed by a female in a parking lot in the 2500 block of 22nd Street West.

The suspect in the first incident has been identified and is facing two charges of assault with a weapon and one of possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose.

She has not yet been arrested and police are attempting to locate her.

Police are continuing to investigate. Anyone with information is asked to contact Saskatoon police at 306-975-8300 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
