Mounties say the driver remained on scene and is co-operating with police.
Police say victim services workers are available for witnesses that have been affected by what they saw.
The witness is described as a woman in her 20’s, wearing a black coat and walking a small beige poodle. The witness had a brief interaction with the youth after the man drove away. Investigators are looking to identify and speak with the witness to advance the investigation.
The response prompted a large police presence at the Royal Columbian Hospital. A man is being treated for non-life threatening injuries and two suspects are in police custody.
