THUNDER BAY — A Thunder Bay woman faces multiple charges after two incidents about four hours apart, Sunday morning.

Police were initially called at about 2:00 a.m. to the 300 block of University Drive where a male had been struck by a motor vehicle. 

He was taken to hospital for treatment of undisclosed injuries.

Detectives were able to determine the identity of the motorist, whom they also linked to an armed robbery that occurred just before 6:00 a.m. at the Esso gas bar on Memorial Avenue.

A woman had entered the kiosk brandishing a knife, and demanded money from the clerk.

Officers subsequently arrested a 38-year-old female on charges of aggravated assault, dangerous operation of a vehicle causing bodily harm, robbery with a weapon and wearing a disguise with criminal intent.
