Man charged after assault with a hammer on Saskatoon bus
A 23-year-old man was arrested Monday afternoon in connection with an assault on a Saskatoon Transit bus.
Around 5:10 p.m., officers responded to a call about an assault on a city bus in the 200 block of 23rd Street East, police said in a news release on Tuesday.
Officers arrived to find an injured man, who told them he was “hit on the head with a hammer” by another man, the release said. He was treated by paramedics and taken to hospital with what were believed to be non-life-threatening injuries.
After a short search, officers found and arrested a man who matched the suspect’s description in the 200 block of First Avenue South. The release said they searched him and found a hammer.
He is charged with aggravated assault and failure to comply with court-ordered conditions.
