Posted: Aug. 12, 2022 6:56AMVANCOUVER — Police say a charge of assault with a weapon has been laid against a woman after officers in Vancouver were allegedly attacked in the same area as a tent encampment was being removed from the city’s Downtown Eastside.

The statement says several other suspects are also under investigation for what is described as a “swarming” of officers who were responding to reports of an unruly man at a community centre in the same block as the encampment. Addison says the arrest was not related to removal of the tents and police were not involved in that action, which was ordered by Vancouver’s fire chief due to safety concerns.
