Lac La Biche RCMP are hoping the public can help them with information on what they believe is a hit-and-run that took place on Monday May 13.
Police say they were called to a home on 92 Avenue in Lac La Biche that afternoon on a report that a man was lying on the ground with a head injury. Police say the call initially came in to help local EMS crews with a suspected stabbing.
The police investigation revealed the 21-year-old victim was walking with three other people when an unknown vehicle drove toward them and struck the one person. Police say the man was taken to hospital for minor injuries. RCMP have not released any information on the type of vehicle, but are looking for anyone with information on the matter.

A youth at the Lac La Biche Youth Assessment Centre is facing three charges of assault after police were called to the facility on Thursday, May 16. Police say they were called by centre staff after a 13-year-old male youth reportedly attacked three staff members.
