Three Toronto police officers were taken to hospital overnight following a confrontation in the west end.
Police were investigating a stopped SUV at Albion Rd. and Highway 427 at about 1am Friday, when they saw that the driver appeared to be slumped over.
They were reportedly talking with the motorist outside the vehicle when a dispute erupted. At that point the man got back into the car and allegedly rammed two cruisers before taking off.
One of the police cars’ front ends was completely bashed in.
The officers were slightly hurt in their attempt to stop the suspect vehicle from getting away.
None of their injuries were serious however and they were subsequently released.
Investigators now have more information about the suspect and his vehicle.
He’s described as:
-
Black,
-
Approximately 20 years old
-
Medium build,
-
170 lbs.,
-
Tattoo on his neck.
It’s believed the suspect was driving a black 2002 Chevy Trailblazer with the licence plate AZEZ 035. The SUV will have sustained some damage from the collision.
Anyone with information can call Crime Stoppers at 416-222-TIPS (8477).
