RCMP in Montreal are looking for a man who fled across the border Monday morning after an altercation with a U.S. Border Patrol agent. The man might have suffered gunshot wounds.

The agency says an officer on routine patrol early Monday spotted the three people — two male and one female — walking in Derby Line, Vt., at about 2:15 a.m.

Border Patrol spokesman Mark Henry says the agent, who was not identified, spoke with the three people briefly before they began assaulting him. He says they knocked him down, there was a struggle and one person started punching him. Mr. Henry says the agent became concerned for his life, pulled his gun and fired two shots.

A male and female suspect were taken into custody. The third person fled into Canada. Neither person in custody was wounded. Agents don’t know whether the suspect who fled into Canada was shot.

Mr. Henry would not release the names of the people in custody, and he said he didn’t know their nationalities.

In Montreal, RCMP Corporal Elaine Lavergne said police on the Canadian side of the border were searching for the missing man.

Derby Line is a series of residential streets and buildings that straddles the border.
