An RCMP officer was hit with a baton during an arrest in a Walmart parking lot.
The Mountie found a stolen vehicle in the parking lot and attempted to arrest the thief at approximately 5:30 p.m., police said.
A local resident, who did not want to be fully named for fear of retribution, says RCMP were already at the store when she and her husband arrived. He ran inside to buy diapers, so she was alone with two toddlers when she says the officer approached the thief. “She gets on her feet pulls her baton, whips it out, and goes to smack him with it and he just grabbed it out of the air — rips it out of her hand — and kind of cave man styled her in the back of the head with it. … She went back down and he gets on top of her again and just starts bashing her with this baton. Like he’s going for the skull every time. The man fled when a passerby started yelling at him.
