The driver who allegedly ran down a group of teens in Abbotsford, B.C., in February has now been charged.
Michael Brian Gerty, 85, is charged with one count of dangerous driving and three counts of assault with a weapon after two teens were hurt in the incident.
Police were called to Carlsrue Avenue between Princess and Victoria streets on Feb. 14 after reports of a motor vehicle incident.
At the time, police said it appeared the teens were playing pranks on neighbours by ringing doorbells and knocking before running away. Gerty allegedly chased them with his vehicle, hitting two of them.
Video from the scene shows a car racing towards the teens before a crashing noise followed by screaming.
