Police are questioning the driver of a mini-van after another man was run over in the parking lot of a strip club in the northeast.
A 32-year-old man was walking in the parking lot outside the Big Easy gentlemen's club in the 3200 block of 32 St. N.E., around 7:00 p.m. Wednesday night, when he was struck by a mini-van.

The victim's brother was at the scene at the time and with the help of other witnesses called EMS and police.
The van fled the scene and was tracked down by police who scoured the surrounding area and followed a debris trail to the community of Palliser.

A 24-year-old man was arrested about 3:30 a.m. and police are interviewing two other men in connection with the incident.
The victim was taken to hospital where he remains in serious, life-threatening condition.
