A 29-year-old Dauphin woman is facing 10 charges — including attempted murder — after she allegedly hit a pedestrian repeatedly with her car on Tuesday night.
Dauphin RCMP went to the 100 block of Main Street shortly after 11 p.m. to respond to a call that a pedestrian had been intentionally hit multiple times by a vehicle.
At the scene, police learned that the woman driver had “clipped” a man with her car and then struck him again when he got up and tried to run away, RCMP said in a news release on Thursday.
The woman, who knew the victim, then exited her vehicle and physically assaulted the man while he was lying on the ground, RCMP said.
Police said a bystander tried to intervene, but the woman assaulted him, too.
The accused fled the scene and both victims were taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
RCMP found the woman hours later and arrested her, the release said.
The woman faces charges of attempted murder, assault with a weapon, two counts each of assault and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing bodily harm, uttering threats and other offences.
She remains in custody.
