Brandon Police say a Winnipeg man is facing charges after calling 911 multiple times on Monday to report around 50 people fist fighting along the side of the Trans-Canada Highway.

Police say when they found the 31-year-old man he was driving eastbound in the westbound lanes of the highway. He was believed to be impaired by drugs.

Police allege that the man fought with them while being placed under arrest, and tried to flee the scene.

The man is facing a charge of resisting arrest and is set to appear in court in December. A blood sample was taken from the accused and impaired driving-related charges are pending based on the results.

The investigation continues.
