Paramedic Greg Stubbs was attacked while responding to a call for a suspected seizure in downtown Victoria .

Stubbs says the man kicked him in the face and kicked him as hard as he could in the head.

He said he had five concussions and was worried about a brain bleed prior to the attack.

Fire and ambulance crews will no longer respond to the 900 block of Pandora Avenue without a police escort.

In August , the city and Victoria police announced a plan to address the encampment through increased police and bylaw patrols.

In September , the City of Victoria started putting up fencing in the 900-block of Pandora Ave .
