Saskatoon police say they arrested a wanted man who tried to flee from officers on a bike.
A disturbance was reported in the 1400-block of Korol Mews in the Hampton Village neighbourhood at roughly 4:30 p.m. on Sept. 22, police said.
The suspect had a warrant for his arrest, police said.
The complainant directed officers to a room in the house, but the suspect exited through a window and rode away on a bicycle, officers said.
A canine officer located the man biking through a nearby park while “shouting for help,” according to a press release.
The man later abandoned his bike and attempted to gain access to an occupied vehicle but was unsuccessful, police said.
