Early yesterday evening the Prince George RCMP received a report of a break and enter on the 600 block of Ahbau St.
The suspect fled before police were called. One officer was directed towards a suspect by a witness near the Spruceland Mall. The officer confronted the suspect and attempted to arrest him. The suspect assaulted the officer with a crutch and fled across Highway 97 on foot.
Several minutes later, the suspect was located in a bathroom of a restaurant on Central St. near 5th Ave. The same officer attempted again to arrest the suspect and was assaulted. Other officers assisted and the suspect was taken into custody. A 21 year old Prince George man was held in custody overnight and will appear in court later today, pending charge approval.
The officer suffered a broken hand as a result of the interaction.
