Toronto, Dec 13 (IANS) Police in Canada have charged and arrested a Sikh man after he "intentionally" ran a police cruiser off the roadway in a stolen vehicle in the city of Brampton.
In July 2021, Gauravdeep Singh was seen operating a stolen vehicle around Hurontario Street and County Court Boulevard in Brampton, the Peel Regional Police said.
Singh made "intentional contact with a police cruiser, causing it to leave the roadway and make good on his escape".
Following the incident, an arrest warrant was issued for Singh, and he was arrested late last month.
Singh has been charged with 12 offences, including theft of a motor vehicle, possession of stolen property and flight from a police officer.
"It is a miracle that there were no serious injuries in this incident as this individual attempted to harm our officers, who accept the inherent risks associated with their jobs to keep our community safe," Peel Regional Police Deputy Chief, Marc Andrews, said in a statement.
The suspect was arrested shortly after noon near Hwy 1 on the Clearbook Rd exit in Abbotsford. The two victims were transported by ambulance to a local area hospital. Both have non-life threatening injuries.
Jongwon Ham appeared virtually in court on Wednesday after a significant delay wearing a red shirt, a beard and his black hair reached past his shoulders. Ham was ordered remanded until Nov. 24 while he worked on getting a lawyer. The 37-year-old has been charged with first-degree murder in the death of RCMP Const. Shaelyn Yang.
The incident happened on October 27 at around 7:30 p.m., after security for Hotel Georgia asked the suspect, who was loitering in the breezeway of the hotel, to leave the area. The suspect pulled a knife from his jacket and approached the security guard.
RCMP say the human remains were discovered last month in Connaught Hill Park. Police say with the help of the BC Coroners Service, it was able to identify the remains as those of Donna Charlie, who was killed in 1990.
