BLAINE LAKE, Sask. - The RCMP has launched an investigation into how a suspect in a Saskatchewan stabbing got injured while fleeing from Mounties.
Two men suffered minor wounds in last Saturday's violence on the Mistawasis First Nation.
Police say a 20-year-old Saskatoon man found walking on a reserve road was detained, and officers discovered cocaine and cash on him during a search.
They say the suspect fled into a nearby field, but suffered a non-life-threatening injury while being pursued.
He was treated at the Shellbrook hospital and was later released from custody, but charges are pending.
A senior Mountie will look into the man's injury, and the RCMP has requested the Ministry of Justice appoint an independent observer.
