Hotel staff stabbed

SAANICH — Five staff members at a Victoria-area hotel are injured and a manager is in custody after a weekend stabbing. Police in Saanich say they were called to the Red Lion Inn late Saturday afternoon.

Sgt. Chris Horsley says the attack happened in the hotel’s restaurant, which was closed between shifts at the time.

Horsley says it appears the attacker stabbed several employees in the restaurant before moving into the hotel lobby.
