Peel police say Ontario’s Special Investigations Unit (SIU) has invoked its mandate following a hit-and-run collision involving an assault suspect in Mississauga.
police say officers were called to the Port Credit area of Elizabeth Street North near Lakeshore Road East at around 12:30 a.m. for calls of an alleged assault.
While at the scene, police say an adult male suspect crossed the street and was struck by a vehicle that “failed to remain.”
Police say the man was transported to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries and is currently listed in stable condition.
As a result, police confirm their Major Collision Bureau will handle the investigation, adding that the SIU has also “invoked their mandate.”
No additional details have been released.
