Two suspects wanted for St. Catharines assault on Lake Street

Niagara Regional Police are looking for two suspects after a 37-yearold St. Catharines man suffered minor injuries during an assault late Tuesday evening. Police officers arrived at an apartment complex on Lake Street at about 11:47 p.m. to find the injured man, who had been beaten by men armed with a metal pipe and steel-toed boots. Police say the assault was not random, and two suspects have been identified. Arrest warrants for assault with a weapon have been issued for Jamie Westlake, 53, and Reid Dyson, 23, both of St. Catharines. Anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of the two men is asked by police to contact detectives at 905-688-4111 ext. 4376 Lundy’s Lane last week. Niagara Regional Police said Six Nations Police arrested Carl Andrew Hill, 25, of Hagersville, on Tuesday. Hill was charged with the offences of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing bodily harm, fail to remain, causing bodily harm by criminal negligence and driving while disqualified. The car involved in the collision has been located and seized by investigators, according to a news release issued by Niagara police Wednesday. Police said Hill was known to the victim, who suffered significant injuries and has since been released from hospital. A 29-year-old Oshweken man was airlifted to an out-of-town regional trauma centre after he was hit by a vehicle along Lundy’s Lane, east of Corwin Avenue, at approximately 11:20 p.m. last Wednesday. Police said a westbound vehicle left the north edge of the road and struck the pedestrian. Police said the suspect vehicle failed to stop at the scene of the collision and was last seen westbound on Lundy’s Lane. That section of Lundy’s Lane was closed for several hours last Thursday as police continued their investigation and looked around the area for witnesses.
