It’s believed the two men were arguing inside a nearby residence and later took it outside where the dispute continued to escalate.
“The suspect entered a white 2021 Chevrolet Traverse and ran over the victim and left the area,” a Niagara Regional Police spokesperson explained.
Detectives say the driver would be arrested hours later at his residence near Bowden Street and Prow Avenue, just a kilometre from the scene of the collision.
Identified in a release, the Fort Erie man is facing nine charges in all including aggravated assault and dangerous operation of a vehicle.
Additionally, he was also charged with six provincial highway offences.
