One of three people found in a stolen vehicle fled through a home and over barbed wire in an attempt to evade Saskatoon police.
The vehicle was spotted in the 600-block of Idylwyld Drive North at roughly 7:50 p.m. CT on Aug. 2, after being reported stolen from North Battleford, Sask.
During a high-risk vehicle stop, the front passenger fled on foot.
An officer arrested the driver and another passenger while a separate officer pursued the man.
The man fled through a home and was later found in a backyard. Police said a brief physical altercation occurred with officers, but they took him into custody.
The 34-year-old man sustained an injury to his arm and leg, which police said happened when he jumped over a barbed wire fence. He was taken to hospital for medical treatment.
He is facing charges of break and enter, possession of stolen property, and obstruction.
The driver, a 20-year-old man, and a 24-year-old woman are facing stolen property possession charges.
All were scheduled to appear in Saskatoon provincial court Aug. 3.
