Vancouver police said a man is in custody following a wild, multi-block crime spree in the downtown core on Friday morning.
Police said they received calls about someone pepper-spraying a man in a parking lot at Cambie and Pender streets then driving off in the victim’s car.
The car was involved in a number of collisions in the area of West Georgia and Hamilton streets, hitting several cars and a pedestrian who suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
The suspect ran from the car and was chased down by a group of construction workers, who were also pepper-sprayed but were still able to hold the man down until police arrived.
Police said they will be recommending a number of charges.
