Emergency services attended the Microtel in Portage on Saturday night after a disturbance occurred inside.

A witness, who requested anonymity, stated that the incident occurred on the second floor in the late evening.

The witness reported seeing several figures running past their door through the peephole, and tasting mace or pepper spray as soon as they turned away from their door.

They noted that as soon as they tasted it, precautions were taken to seal off the door, to little effect.

It was also stated that one of the witness's children was taken to the hospital to make sure they were not harmed.

The witness and their family all escaped the incident without injury.
