A woman was injured, and a man is facing charges of attempted murder and domestic violence after officers with the Vancouver Police Department said on Thursday that they had stopped the assault in progress.

On Thursday afternoon, Vancouver police posted body cam footage of the incident, saying it happened “recently” at an apartment complex.

Officers were responding to the report of a man assaulting a woman inside an apartment when they said they saw the attack happening through a window.
