UPDATE: Haitam Maher has turned himself in to Surrey RCMP.
Police said he turned himself in on Jan. 18, 2024, and will appear before the court.
On Sept. 7, 2023, Surrey RCMP’s Gang Enforcement Team pulled over a suspect vehicle, which they saw driving dangerously through the city at “peak traffic hours.”
Shortly after, the driver allegedly drove forward into a police vehicle, almost striking an officer, before fleeing the scene and colliding with multiple other civilian vehicles.
“Thankfully, no one was injured during this incident,” Surrey RCMP Cpl James Mason said in a release.
Previously, Surrey RCMP said Mahar has been charged with assaulting a police officer, flight from police, dangerous operation of a vehicle, failure to stop and willfully resisting.
