Two RCMP officers were injured, and a suspect bitten by a police dog, during an incident Wednesday afternoon in northern Saskatchewan.
A Montreal Lake RCMP officer arrested a woman in a vehicle during a traffic stop, when the driver attacked the officer.
The officer received minor injuries.
The driver then took off and a low-speed chase took place on Highway 969 involving officers from several RCMP detachments.
A second officer was injured when the driver tried to avoid a spike belt and briefly dragged the officer, who suffered minor injuries.
The chase ended when police forced the vehicle off the road, after the driver attempted to ram another RCMP vehicle.
The driver suffered dog bite injuries while being arrested by a member of the Prince Albert police dog section.
Raini Henderson, 28, is facing charges of impaired driving, flight from police, attempting to injure a law enforcement dog, assaulting a peace officer with weapon, and three counts of endangering the life of a peace officer.
The accused has been remanded in custody and is scheduled to appear in Prince Albert court on Aug. 7.
RCMP said the woman was not charged.
