RCMP have reported a swarming attack on a worker at the Coastal GasLink site in Houston, B.C.—the same site where about 20 armed attackers caused millions in damages last year amid pipeline protests.

A Coastal GasLink (CGL) worker was allegedly swarmed by people wearing masks and camouflage on the Morice West Forest Service Road, Houston RCMP said in a March 29 release.
