Members of the Saskatoon RCMP detachment called to the area early Sunday morning learned the woman had been taken by a man on an ATV.

Mounties located the ATV, but said the driver refused to stop. They did not give chase due to the potential risk to the woman.

They eventually found her walking along a rural road.

Officers were told she escaped when the ATV rolled, and the suspect had been injured.

The woman was taken to hospital for treatment.

Police located the ATV, but not the driver. A police dog tracked the suspect to an empty railcar where he was arrested.

He was taken to hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.

His name was not released by police to protect the identity of the victim.

He is scheduled to appear Oct. 17 in Saskatoon provincial court depending on his recovery.
