A man accused of running over another man in Prince Albert’s Cornerstone parking lot has been released on bail.

Rajdeepsinh Bihola, 22, appeared by phone Thursday morning at Prince Albert Provincial Court. He has been in custody since the incident on May 18 near the Arby’s restaurant.

He’s facing charges of aggravated assault and assault using a weapon, specifically in this case a vehicle.
