A motorist is facing charges after a striking support worker at Seneca College was struck by a vehicle trying to enter the school's Markham campus.

York Regional Police say the man suffered leg injuries after being struck by a vehicle trying to cross a picket line on Wednesday afternoon.

Police say the man has been treated and released from hospital and a 29-year-old man will appear in court Oct. 5, charged with dangerous driving causing bodily harm.

The Ontario Public Service Employees Union says the computer technologist suffered multiple fractures.

News of the incident came on the eighth day of the strike by 8,000 college support workers, which has seen some varsity games cancelled and some delays in processing student loan applications..

Both sides say no talks are scheduled to end the dispute.
