RCMP in Surrey, B.C. say they arrested a man Wednesday after he rammed a police vehicle.
The collision happened shortly before 2 p.m. after someone reported a suspicious vehicle near 146 Street and 108 Avenue.
When police arrived at the scene, Mounties say the driver of a blue Ford Explorer rammed into a police vehicle, then caused a collision with a civilian vehicle while making a getaway.
Images from the scene suggest the suspect crashed into one of the Surrey Police Service’s new vehicles, which began rolling out in July.
