Victim wrestles gun away from attacker

A man was taken to hospital early Sunday morning after two people whom
he thought followed him from the Emerald Casino attacked him and tried
to rob him at his home.

The doorbell rang just after the man arrived at his St. Lawrence
Crescent home at around 4 a.m. Sunday. When he opened the door, he was
confronted with a man holding a sawed-off rifle and a woman armed with a
club, a Saskatoon police media release said. The victim wrestled the gun
away from the man, who then fled.

The victim’s wife woke up and came to help her husband when she saw him
struggling with the woman in the front yard of their River Heights home.
The bat-wielding woman then ran away.

The man was taken to St. Paul’s Hospital where he was treated for
injuries he received in the attack, which police say were not serious.

Police are now on the lookout for a 5-foot-8 Caucasian male wearing a
black leather jacket and a 5-foot-6 aboriginal woman in her early 20s,
wearing a black leather jacket.

Staff Sgt. John Middleton said the victim and the attackers were
strangers.

“It is very rare in Saskatoon that we have an incident like this,” he
said. “A lot of home invasions we have, there’s often some motive or
some history between the attackers and the victim, and sometimes there’s
drugs involved.”

Middleton said the police are investigating whether there’s any security
videotape from the casino that might help them identify the suspects, if
they were there early Sunday morning.
