Prince George, B.C. - Police say it was a particularly violent night in the city of Prince George with numerous assaults,  thefts and two street fights.  They are most concerned with two incidents including a slashing that took place on Dominion Street around 11 last night.  A 49 year old female was slashed across the face.  A 31 year old female is the suspect.

There was also a foiled armed robbery at Nelly’s Neighbourhood Pub.

Just after midnight a lone male with a sawed off rifle entered through the back door of the pub and pointed the rifle at the employee at the cash register.  The employee jumped out of the way, grabbed the phone and called 9-1-1.  One patron grabbed the suspect and a struggle ensued.  Other patrons joined in and the would be thief let go of the rifle and fled the scene.

Police are now looking for a white male, 35-40 years old, 6’-6’2” tall, 250 lbs, wearing dark clothing, a ball cap and a mask. Police are stressing that trying to stop a robbery can be extremely dangerous especially when firearms are involved.
