Man rams SUV into police cruiser

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 05 Oct, 2023 11:30 AM
  • Man rams SUV into police cruiser

B-C's police watchdog has found a man who rammed his S-U-V into a police cruiser outside a Vancouver Island R-C-M-P detachment last spring was not seriously injured when he was hit by a single police bullet.

The Independent Investigations Office, which reviews officer-involved incidents that result in serious harm or death, says it reviewed video footage and medical records before concluding the probe.

One officer was also injured in the incident last May.

The suspect appeared in court this week facing charges including assault by choking, aggravated assault, assaulting a peace officer with a weapon, and dangerous driving causing bodily harm.
