A busy Saturday night for Sudbury police
Sudbury police tell CTV News that a hundred calls were received on the evening of Sept. 17.
Officers are investigating a hit-and-run incident that took place last night in the city’s south end.
Police responded to reports of an altercation involving several parties in a parking garage on Nesbitt Drive around 9 p.m.
According to officers, the individuals involved were not known to each other and that one suspect fled the scene in a U-Haul but not before striking a young woman.
The woman suffered life-altering injuries to her lower extremities and was transported to hospital.
Greater Sudbury Police Services also responded to an armed robbery downtown earlier in the evening.
