A stabbing in Esquimalt was the most serious call Victoria police dealt with on Halloween night.
Police say a man was stabbed several times by a male family member in a domestic dispute in the 800 block of Esquimalt Road at 7 p.m. on Saturday. A suspect was taken into custody and the victim is recovering.
Downtown, the streets were buzzing with partygoers dressed in costume. Six busloads of partiers were dropped off in the nightclub district.
The crowds had clubs bursting at the seams, and two establishments are facing liquor suspensions as a result, said Sgt. Grant Hamilton, a police spokesperson.
Other calls included liquor offences and various calls about parties.
“It was very busy, but not as busy as last year,” Hamilton said.
