Police are investigating after two men and their dogs either suffered bite injuries or cut wounds during an altercation.

On April 6, 2025 at 4:32 p.m., the Salt Spring Island RCMP received a report of a weapons complaint at Ruckle Park. A 46-year-old Salt Spring man called to advise that he had allegedly cut another dog owner by accident after he and his own dog were apparently attacked by another dog that had broken away from it’s leash. According to the 46-year-old, he was bitten by the other dog which then latched onto his dog. He apparently drew a small knife to stop the attack. The other dog owner, a 51-year-old Salt Spring man, quickly arrived to assist; however, when both dogs were separated it was discovered that he and his dog had both suffered cuts. The off-leash dog was taken to a veterinary by friends, while the 51-year-old man went to hospital.

The 46-year-old man was arrested in relation to weapons offences and the knife seized. He was subsequently released for Court at a later date, pending charge approval.

Both owners and their dogs suffered various, but what appear to be non-life threatening physical injuries, said Staff Sergeant Kris Clark of the BC RCMP.

The investigation is ongoing.
