Police tried to flag the vehicle down, which did not stop before it turned onto Jarvis Street where it did come to a stop.

As two officers approached the SUV, the driver hit the gas and drove at them, according to police. They managed to get out of the way but police said the Trailblazer hit the two cruisers before driving across someone’s front lawn.
