A woman has been arrested over what Vancouver police say is a series of assaults against “random strangers” in the city.
Police say officers responded to multiple calls on Sunday in the city’s downtown core where the 32-year-old woman is alleged to have assaulted three people.

Moments later, a 33-year-old woman had rocks thrown at her, then Addison says a 57-year-old man was assaulted with a piece of wood.
