A couple was hit by a van last Thursday after a dispute with the driver over a can of beer, police said.

It all started when a man said he saw the van driver throw a can of beer into an open field beside his house in the 100 block of Perry Street, police said.

When the man approached the driver, asking him to pick up the beer can, they got into an argument. The victim said the driver backed up and hit him in the right leg, but didn’t injure him.

As the van was leaving the scene, the victim’s wife came outside and was struck by the van on the right knee, police said.

Police are still looking for the driver of the van.
