P.E.I. man charged in Confederation Bridge incident
McNally, 28, is also charged with flight from police, theft of a vehicle, failing to stop at the scene of an accident and three additional counts of causing damage to motor vehicles.
The charges come after a series of events on the Confederation Bridge Tuesday morning.
RCMP said they received a report at around 5:45 a.m. that a man was on the 12.9-kilometre bridge.
Bridge officials say they found the man and were able to get him into one of their service trucks.
When the official who was driving the service truck went to speak with RCMP officers, the man moved from the passenger seat to the driver's seat and sped off toward the New Brunswick side of the bridge, according to police.
Police say the RCMP officer was dragged by the truck before he managed to break free from the vehicle.
The driver then smashed the stolen pickup into two vehicles near the New Brunswick side.
One of the vehicles was a Confederation Bridge service vehicle used to block the path of the stolen truck, according to the bridge's general manager Michel LeChasseur.
The RCMP officer was hospitalized and the bridge was closed for several hours.
McNally will be kept in custody until his next court date, September 21.
RCMP say the investigation continues.
