Toronto police are searching for a suspect after a stolen vehicle struck a police cruiser and another car, sending three people to hospital.

The collision occurred at Dundas and Church Streets just after 9 p.m. on Tuesday when officers received an Automatic License Plate Recognition hit for a stolen vehicle.

The vehicle then allegedly hit a police cruiser and another car.

Two people in the other vehicle were taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. No officers were injured in the incident.

A male was initially arrested on the scene but was released with no charges, and police are still looking for a male suspect.

No further details about the suspect have been provided.
