I know one of the cops involved in this. He's my wife's best friends boyfriend and he got dragged for a couple of feet as the car sped off. Pretty scary when something routine turns into something more.
Police Cruisers Crunched, Cops Hurt In ConfrontationFriday February 16, 2007
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, 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 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 said to be about 20 years old, and 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).
