Victoria police officers are warning the public after yet another person was pricked by a needle on Tuesday.

At about 7:30 p.m., a woman was walking a dog in the 700 block of Pembroke Street.

The woman noticed her dog grabbing at a paper bag on the ground.

According to the woman, she swiped the bag away from the dog and felt a prick on her hand.

Upon closer inspection, the woman noticed several capped and uncapped syringes inside the paper bag.

There is no indication that the bag was placed there with malicious intent and it is believed that the bag was improperly disposed of.

The woman was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
