A suspect accused of committing various assaults within a short period of time over the weekend is facing several criminal charges.
The Prince Albert Police Service says one man has been arrested in connection with the assaults, which happened between 2 a.m. and 3 a.m. Saturday morning. The 18-year-old man is charged with aggravated assault, theft and breach of a youth sentence order in relation to the incident.
A media release from the city police service said members were first called out to an assault on a man around 2:17 a.m. at a business in the 200 Block of 15th St. W. The suspect fled before police arrived. Within 20 minutes, police were dispatched to a business in the 1300 Block of Second St. W., where a man struck an unconscious man in the head and fled before police arrived. The victim was taken to hospital. Ten minutes later, officers were dispatched to the 900 Block of First Ave. W., where they found a man who had been kicked by a male suspect before his guitar and alcohol were stolen. The description of the man provided matched that of the suspect in the two previous attacks.
Police located the suspect nearby on his bicycle and arrested him on 12th St. and First Ave. Police also located a backpack with the alleged stolen liquor.
