The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary are seeking the public’s help in locating a wanted St. John’s man.
An arrest warrant has been issued for 30-year-old Gerald Kyle Hynes following an incident in the capital city.
On Tuesday, the RNC responded to a report of a suspicious person near Sebastian Court. Police on the scene saw Hynes attempting to flee from a property in the area. An officer told Hynes he was under arrest, when he allegedly assaulted the officer and fled the area. The officer sustained a non-life-threatening injury.
In addition to outstanding arrest warrants, Hynes is wanted on charges of assaulting a police officer, resisting arrest and breaches of court orders.
Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Hynes is asked to contact the RNC or Crime Stoppers. However, police are asking the public not to approach him.
