“Police noticed and approached to advise the driver,” Raphaël Bergeron, Montreal police spokesman, said. “As soon as he saw the police car he took off.”
At that time the 19-year-old was travelling northbound on Pie-IX Boulevard. He then turned left on to Jean-Talon East and made another left on 12th Ave.
That’s where he brushed against the wall of a building and was arrested.
Nobody was injured and charges are still to be determined.
