VANCOUVER (NEWS 1130) — A woman was badly hurt on Thursday after she tried to break up a fight between a man and a woman at UBC, according to police.

RCMP say the woman witnessed the fight around 4:00 p.m. at the basement of the Centre for Advanced Wood Processing in the university’s Main Mall. Police say the victim tried to intervene but was apparently assaulted with a weapon.

She was taken to hospital with serious injuries.

“Neither the initial victim, nor the suspect man were located at the scene by police. Both were last seen running from the area, separately,” read a statement from police.

Police say the suspect may have scratches on the right side of his face and neck.

Anyone with information is asked to contact RCMP.
