On Oct. 17, just after 6:15 p.m. officers investigated a collision on Road 111 in which the driver reportedly failed to remain at the scene.

Investigators said that the driver of the vehicle drove on a closed road, became confrontational, and “sped off,” striking a construction worker and fleeing the scene.

Only minor injuries were reported.

Alexander Stobbart, 29, of Stratford, has been charged with assault with a weapon and failure to stop after an accident.

The accused is scheduled to appear in court at a later date.
