Two people were taken to hospital Monday afternoon after being hit by a vehicle.

On September 2, 2024 at approximately 3:00 p.m. police were called to the 100 block of Avenue S South in regard to an unknown problem. Initial information stated there was an altercation involving a knife.

Upon arrival, officers located a male laying in an alley suffering from serious injuries; he was transported to hospital for further treatment. The man told officers he had been hit by a vehicle.

Upon further investigation, officers learned another female was also driven to hospital after being hit by a vehicle; it is believed both were hit by the same vehicle in the same alley. A subsequent search of the alley resulted in officers locating a knife.
