According to police reports, Detective Sergeant Victor Francis, 65, who was assigned to the Centre for the Investigations of Sexual Offences and Child Abuse headquarters, observed two men in a physical confrontation and attempted to intervene when he was stabbed.

One of the men ran behind the policeman and used him as a shield, while the alleged knife-wielding attacker continued stabbing, injuring the cop.

Francis was pronounced dead at the hospital.
