NWT RCMP say a 25 year old has been charged after a woman was injured in Tuktoyaktuk earlier this month. 

As first reported by CBC, police say around 6:00 in the morning on June 5, they responded to a call for service regarding an injured woman who was allegedly run over by a vehicle.

RCMP say the woman was taken to the local health centre. She was then transferred to Stanton Territorial Hospital in Yellowknife and eventually to Edmonton for treatment of non-life threatening injuries. 

RCMP say they have charged Devaughn Raddi – who is listed in the territorial court docket as Devaughn Nasogaluak – with aggravated assault and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing bodily harm, in relation to the incident.
