VICTORIA -- A man who was wanted on Canada-wide warrants and was the subject of a community alert Monday has been arrested in Victoria.
Police say Chadwick Wsiaki, 35, was found wearing a disguise in Hollywood Park, in the 1600-block of Fairfield Road, just before midnight Monday.
Investigators say he was wanted in connection with a variety of alleged crimes, including two assaults with weapons.
One of the alleged assaults occurred in Stadacona Park on Sunday, Oct. 4. In that incident, Wsiaki allegedly assaulted a woman before brandishing a machete.
