Two sex workers were violently assaulted in Edmonton and police believe they may be more victims.
According to police, a man contacted both women through a website and arranged to meet them for sexual services Saturday morning.
At around 7 a.m., officers said the man met a 30-year-old woman at an online rental suite in central Edmonton, where he attacked her. She was significantly injured and rendered unconscious.
