Minor suffered serious injuries, taken to Edmonton hospital.
An 18-year-old is facing aggravated assault, and assault with a weapon charges, after allegedly pinning a minor to the wall of a business with his vehicle.
St. Paul RCMP received a call at roughly 3:00AM on Saturday, June 14, with a report of a collision at a convenience store in the town.
When police arrived, they say they found an injured minor laying on the ground in front of the business.
