Montreal police (SPVM) are searching for a suspect who crashed into a police car, injuring an officer, and fled the scene in a suspected stolen vehicle.
The SPVM reports that around 12:30 p.m. Monday, police located a vehicle that was reported stolen. A suspect was seen entering the car at the intersection of 55th Avenue and Lindsay Avenue in Dorval, and they noted at least one other person was inside it.
Police say the first suspect fled the scene and was apprehended after a brief foot chase.
The second suspect took off in the vehicle and crashed into a police cruiser, which in turn hit a police officer. The officer sustained non-life-threatening injuries.
Police lost sight of the vehicle travelling at high speeds but later located it on Bord-du-Lac-Lakeshore in Pointe-Claire.
The highway was closed briefly, and police officers are searching the area for the second suspect.
