A 24-year-old man faces charges following a hit-and-run Sunday evening near the Prince Albert Exhibition ground.
Around 11 p.m. Sunday, police were called to 10th Avenue East near the entrance to the Exhibition grounds, according to a Prince Albert Police news release. A 9-year-old boy was treated by paramedics and taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The vehicle involved fled the scene before police arrived.
Soon after, officers located a vehicle matching the description of the suspect vehicle, and the driver was arrested. He was charged with failure to stop at the scene of an accident, received a ticket for driving without a license, and had his vehicle impounded for a month.
Police also arrested a 15-year-old boy for using bear spray at the Ex.
Police were notified bear spray had been used on someone around 11:45 p.m. Sunday. The suspect fled on foot and when he was found, police say he pointed the canister at officers. He attempted to resist arrest but was successfully taken into custody.
Parkland Ambulance attended the scene and treated multiple people suffering from the effects of bear spray. The boy faces several charges, including assaulting police and assault with a weapon.
