Charlottetown police have laid charges against a third person in connection with an incident outside Extreme Ink Tattoo Studio just before Christmas.

Police were called to a disturbance there on Dec. 23. They found Donald (Artie) Gautreau with a serious leg injury. Police say he was pinned to the building by an SUV.

He was airlifted to a hospital in Halifax where part of his leg was amputated.

This week, a 49-year-old man was charged with assault with a weapon and mischief.

Police had previously charged a 26-year-old man, who they say was driving the vehicle, with aggravated assault and assault with a weapon. Earlier this month a second man, 20 years old, was charged with assault with a weapon in connection with the incident.

In a news release police said they did not expect to lay any more charges in the case.
