Nov 3, 2010 | 2:10 PM

A man has been arrested after using a baby as a shield against police.

Around 3:30 Tuesday morning Prince Albert police responded to a complaint that a group of men were fighting in the street in the 400 Block of 18th Street West. When police arrived the men weren’t there.

Just over an hour later they got a call that the same group had now kicked in a nearby resident’s door.

When police returned a 24-year-old Prince Albert man exited the house with a lead pipe.
