New Brunswick Mounties arrested a man after an alleged hit and run in which a child riding a bicycle was struck by a vehicle in Tobique First Nation.
West District RCMP says they received a 911 call just before 9 p.m. on Tuesday about the incident on River Road.
“A 6-year-old girl was riding a bicycle and was struck by a vehicle,” the police said in a news release. “The driver of the car fled the scene. The child sustained minor injuries.”
A few hours later, police say they arrested a 38-year-old man from Tobique First Nation. He was released on a promise to appear in Woodstock Provincial Court on Oct. 2.
