Police are looking for a Welland man who is believed to have intentionally struck two men with a car in St. Catharines.
Niagara police say they responded to a call about two pedestrians being hit by a vehicle near Court and Church Streets just before Noon on Thursday.
Investigators say, two men in their 20s were hit by a black Chevy Cobalt which hit a tree after striking the victims.
The driver of the car fled the scene on foot and was seen getting into another vehicle near Church Street, police say.
A 25-year-old pedestrian was sent to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. A 23-year-old suffered minor injuries.
Niagara Police have since located a female who picked up the suspect following the collision.
The man was last seen by police near Appleby Line in Burlington heading to the Toronto-bound QEW after police discontinued a chase for safety reasons.
Police have identified the suspect as Gage Young, 21. He is wanted for multiple charges including assault with a weapon, dangerous driving and vehicle theft.
Young is five foot eleven inches with a slim build and brown hair. He was last seen driving a white four-door 2016 Hyundai Elantra.
