Castlegar RCMP are investigating an assault that occurred on 6th Avenue on June 1, 2026, at approximately 4:07 p.m.
Police received a report that a young woman was outside a residence loading items into a vehicle when she was approached by a group of youths. The group began yelling at the victim before two individuals allegedly attacked her while others stood nearby.
A witness intervened and was able to separate the attackers, at which point the suspects fled the area.
Officers conducted patrols in the area and located one suspect nearby, who was arrested for assault. The investigation remains ongoing and we are requesting any witnesses to come forward.
