  • Woman arrested in Langley, B.C., for assault causing severe burns

Mounties in Langley, B.C., say a 25-year-old woman has been charged with an assault that sent another woman to hospital with "severe burns."

They previously said officers responded to a report of a woman in distress along a stretch of the Fraser Highway lined with businesses near the city's downtown area at about 6:35 p.m. on Saturday.

Police said the 33-year-old's injuries were caused by exposure to an "unknown substance."

The RCMP say police quickly confirmed the incident took place at the transit bus loop near 204 Street and Logan Avenue.

They say officers located and arrested the 25-year-old suspect on Wednesday.

Police say she was charged with aggravated assault and remains in custody pending her next court appearance, but are asking anyone with information on the attack to contact the detachment.
