Calgary police are investigating a fight between two groups of youth in the Rundle community of northeast Calgary, and they believe it is connected to a hit-and-run involving a pedestrian. The fight happened on Monday, Oct. 19, 2026, at approximately 6:48 p.m., in the 4100 block of Rundlehorn Drive N.E. Investigators believe the youths fought with bear spray, machetes and possibly a firearm, based on witness video of two groups fighting with various weapons.
About 10 minutes later, just before 7 p.m., a white Mercedes SUV struck a pedestrian near Rundlehorn Drive N.E. and 36 Street N.E. Police say the pedestrian was allegedly struck intentionally, and dashcam footage from a nearby vehicle supports that. The SUV's occupants fled on foot. The pedestrian was taken to hospital with injuries police describe as non-life-threatening.
No arrests have been announced. Police believe the fight and the hit-and-run are related; that link is an investigative belief, not a charge.
Anyone who witnessed either incident, anyone in the area between 6:30 p.m. and 7 p.m., or anyone with dashcam or CCTV footage from the Rundlehorn Drive N.E. area is asked to call the Calgary Police Service non-emergency line at 403-266-1234 or submit an anonymous tip through CrimeStoppers.
