The alleged driver of a stolen truck rammed a Prince Albert police cruiser in his attempt to escape capture, but was eventually caught by a police dog.
The truck, reported stolen from Saskatoon, was at a parking lot in the 3700-block of 2nd Avenue North late Wednesday evening in the northern Saskatchewan city.

Officers arrived and saw three people in the truck.
They attempted to block the truck by parking patrol cars in front of and behind it.
The driver then reversed the truck and rammed one cruiser, before fleeing on foot.
An officer fired a Taser but missed the fleeing man.
Police dog Febee was then sent after the man and successfully caught him.
He was taken into custody without further incident.
