The man reportedly refused to do so and became verbally aggressive with the officer.
Police said the man had then accelerated his vehicle, sped through a school zone, and swerved in the direction of the parking officer.
Mark Hayman, 47, was charged on the same day with dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, assaulting a peace officer with a weapon and driving while under suspension.
Hayman is scheduled to appear in a Toronto court on Tuesday afternoon.
