Ontario Provincial Police are investigating after a vehicle owner stopped thieves from stealing their car and suffered "potentially serious injuries" as a result.

Two male suspects were allegedly observed attempting to steal a vehicle out of the parking lot. The car's owner and family attempted to intercept the suspects. One of the owners of the vehicle suffered potentially serious injuries as the suspects fled the scene, police say.
The victim was taken to hospital and is said to be in stable condition.
No arrests or charges were announced, but police are asking the public for anyone who may have witnessed the incident.
Anyone with information regarding this investigation is asked to contact the Hawkesbury OPP at 1-888-310-1122.
