A man is in jail after allegedly setting one Vancouver police officer on fire and singeing a second in the city’s Downtown Eastside on Thursday.

“It definitely is enraging to our members, this comes right on the heels of other assaults that happened not very long ago,” Vancouver police Const. Tania Visitntin said.

Vancouver police said it happened just after 9 p.m. as the pair were patrolling the area as part of Task Force Barrage, an initiative to boost police presence in the area and crack down on organized crime.

Global’s Jordan Armstrong reports.
