Police say victim seriously hurt after hit in Fort Erie
A man in his 30s is in hospital with serious, life altering injuries after police say he was intentionally hit by an SUV in Fort Erie.
Officers were called just before 2, early Monday morning, to Dufferin Street near Central, to find the man with critical injuries.
Police found the victim and a 33-year old Fort Erie man were arguing inside a house, and that escalating argument led outside.
Police say the suspect then got into the SUV, ran the victim over and drove off.
A few hours later police arrested the suspect at his home in the Bowden Street area.
