A 28-year-old Saskatoon man has been arrested and charged with failure to remain at the scene of an accident causing bodily harm following a hit and run involving a pedestrian Wednesday night on 8th Street East.

A Saskatoon Police Service news release says officers responded to the 1300 block of 8th Street East at around 8:45 p.m. and were told that a pedestrian had been hit by a vehicle in a parking lot.

Police say an altercation had taken place between parties known to one another and that one of the parties sped away in a vehicle, striking the other involved party while doing so.

The victim was transported to hospital by Medavie Health Services with what were believed to be non-life-threatening injuries. Police continued to investigate and eventually ended up at an address in the 100 block of Hedley Street where they arrested the suspect.
