OUTLOOK—A Good Samaritan asked one too many questions while helping a stranger change a flat tire.
A 66-year-old man was stabbed last Wednesday, receiving non-life threatening wounds, said RCMP Corp. Rob King.
The man, it is alleged, was helping a 22-year-old man with the flat tire when the 22 year old attacked him with a knife.
Another man at the scene helped stop the knife attack by pulling the accused off the victim, King said. The suspect then stole the truck of the man who helped and fled from the scene.
Outlook RCMP was called and while searching for the stolen truck, they found the truck in a ditch and set up a large perimeter and called for a police dog from North Battleford. The suspect was located and arrested.
Thursday, Ryan Dalton Kelly Bear made his first court appearance in Saskatoon. He is charged with attempted murder.
The whole incident occurred around mid-morning on a road about 5 kilometres north of Outlook.
King said the suspect had a flat tire and went to a nearby residence seeking help. The resident gave the suspect a ride back to his vehicle to help change the tire. Then the 66-year-old man arrived on scene and started asking questions, suspicious of the stranger.
While the man was asking questions, the 22-year-old man is alleged to have attacked the 66 year old.
