A driver who police say hit two people in a Pleasant Hill alleyway was released without charges on Monday.

Officers were called to the 100 block of Avenue S South on Monday around 3 p.m., according to a Saskatoon police news release, with information about an altercation involving a knife.

“Upon arrival, officers located a male laying in an alley suffering from serious injuries; he was transported to hospital for further treatment. The man told officers he had been hit by a vehicle,” police said.

In a subsequent search, officers recovered a knife from the alley, police said.

Investigators later learned a second person was also driven to hospital after being hit by a vehicle on Monday, and police said they think the two people were hit by the same vehicle in the same alley.
