A 14-year-old boy from Bunibonibee Cree Nation has been sent to Winnipeg for medical treatment after he was intentionally struck by an ATV driver who then punched and kicked him.
Oxford House RCMP say four teenage boys were standing near BCN’s band office around 6 a.m. Aug. 18 when a man on an ATV intentionally drove toward them and hit them. Three of the youths managed to run away but the fourth was badly injured and couldn’t move. The driver got off the vehicle and assaulted the injured boy before fleeing the scene.
Another one of the four boys, a 16-year-old, was treated for his injuries at the nursing station.
The entire incident was caught on video surveillance and Theuron Chubb. 28, was arrested for aggravated assault, three counts of assault with a weapon and two counts of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing bodily harm.
He was remanded into custody and Oxford House RCMP continue to investigate.
