The driver refused to stop for officers and ran a stop sign before causing a minor collision with another vehicle.
She then side-swiped at least two parked cars before fleeing the car on foot with three passengers.
They were tracked and arrested nearby.
Patrol officers said they found a replica handgun and a hatchet during a search.
Saskatoon police officials said the car had been stolen an hour earlier while it sat unlocked and running outside a home on Main Street.
