Sudbury — Sudbury police are concerned about the well-being of a man after a physical altercation in Hanmer involving a vehicle of men and a pedestrian.

It happened around 12:10 p.m. on Monday on Rose Court and according to a witness, a dark coloured four-door sedan approached a man, dressed in white clothing, walking down the street.
