SASKATOON — An 18-year-old Saskatoon man is recovering in hospital after being beaten with a baton and a BB gun during a robbery in the Mount Royal neighbourhood.
Police were called to St. Paul’s Hospital at about 7:30 p.m. on April 21, where the victim arrived seeking treatment for his injuries. The man told investigators that the attack occurred approximately two to three hours earlier, while he was walking in the area of the 2100 block of 22nd Street West.
He reported being approached by two unknown males who demanded his bag. When he didn’t immediately hand it over, the suspects struck him with a baton and what appeared to be a BB gun before fleeing with the bag.
