The victim was taken to hospital by paramedics with what police described as non-life-threatening injuries.

As police investigated, they shut down traffic in the area. At one point, officers contained a residence near the gas station where the victim showed up. Police said they believe the home was connected to the incident. Three people from the home were taken into custody but were later released.

Shortly after 10 p.m., police said while their investigation is ongoing, all roads have since been reopened.
