A Nova Scotia man who was the subject of an emergency alert after a fatal hit and run on Monday will receive a first-degree murder charge in court Wednesday.
A Dartmouth, N.S., man is facing murder charges following a bizarre and unsettling incident in Cole Harbour, N.S., Monday afternoon.
Despite the efforts of a Good Samaritan, police say a woman was intentionally struck and killed by a vehicle during an attempted abduction.
The incident happened around 3:20 p.m. on Shrewsbury Road.
"We had received a report of a hit and run. We learned a Good Samaritan had observed a woman who appeared to be held against her will in the vehicle," Cpl. Guillaume Tremblay of the Nova Scotia RCMP told CTV News Tuesday.
According to Tremblay, the Good Samaritan intervened and was knocked to the ground, along with the woman that was being held against her will.
"The man then proceeded to intentionally strike the woman with the vehicle before fleeing the scene," said Tremblay.
Both women were hurt, but the victim in the car far more seriously.
