SAANICH, B.C. — Police on Vancouver Island say a man acting “possibly out of frustration” over someone’s parking ended up in hospital Thursday evening after stabbing himself in the leg.

Saanich police say a 37-year-old man from Esquimalt, B.C., was parked at an arena and returned to find a vehicle parked close to his.

Acting Sgt. Jereme Leslie says the man used a knife to puncture one of the vehicle’s tires and stabbed himself.

“At this point the man realized he would need to attend the hospital due to his self-inflicted stab wound,” Leslie said in a news release.
