Shortly before 3 a.m. Saturday, police were called to the Regina General Hospital after an 18-year-old woman was attacked with bear spray. Police say the woman was walking alone in the west alley at the intersection of 12th Avenue and Toronto Street when a white truck pulled up alongside her from behind. The driver called for her attention, and as the woman turned to look, a person inside the truck sprayed her in the face.

Less than an hour later, officers responded to another bear spray attack in the 1800 block of Quebec Street. Two 14-year-old girls and a 12-year-old girl had been sprayed by people in a white truck, police said.

Another bear spray attack occurred just before noon Saturday in the 900 block of East Arcola Avenue. Police say the victim, a 32-year-old man, was walking alone when a white truck pulled up beside him and one of the occupants sprayed him.

Around 12:30 a.m. Sunday, police responded to another report of a bear spray attack at the intersection of 11th Avenue and Winnipeg Street. Police say a caller said someone had been sprayed at that location, then hung up. Officers checked the area for any victims, but found none.

Around 2 a.m. Sunday, police received a report of a white truck seen racing around a neighbourhood had crashed into a tree in the 1600 block of Toronto Street. Police found the truck abandoned against a tree. The truck was confirmed to be stolen.

Police say no one was seriously injured in any of the attacks.
