Two people bear-sprayed within minutes of each other
Saskatoon Police are investigating two bear spray incidents that occurred within a few minutes on Idylwyld Drive North on Sept. 7.
At approximately 9:45 p.m., police responded to a call where an injured man was found at a restaurant in the 1600 block of Idylwyld Drive North.
The 38-year-old man was suffering from the effects of bear spray.
Police said the man was walking by another man, who asked him for a cigarette before spraying the victim.
Minutes later, a couple of blocks away, on the 1600 block of Idywyld Drive North, a 62-year-old woman was also bear-sprayed when she was sitting in her car. The man approached her to ask for money and also asked her for a cigarette before spraying her.

Man taken into custody for possessing weapons and evading police
A 47-year-old man faces 10 weapons-related charges after evading the police and possessing a loaded sawed-off rifle on Sept. 6, said police in a statement.
At about 3 a.m., police officers initiated a traffic stop at Central Avenue and 108th Street West, but the vehicle fled. The vehicle was observed disobeying traffic signals.
The Saskatoon Police Service Air Support Unit was able to acquire the vehicle and relayed to patrol units that the vehicles had stopped in the 100 block of Kellins Crescent, said police.
After the driver “exited the vehicle and attempted to hide between two houses, he was taken into custody by a police service dog,” read the statement.
