City police say no one was hurt after a suspect rammed two cruisers during a traffic stop in east London.
Investigators say an officer was running routine patrols around Dundas Street and Clarke Road at about 12:20 p.m. on Wednesday.
That’s when the officer allegedly spotted a black Pontiac G6 driven by a prohibited driver with outstanding warrants for his arrest.

More officers came to the area to help safely pull the car over and it drove into a parking lot. It was at that point that investigators allege the vehicle reversed towards the cruisers at a high rate of speed, crashing into two of them.
The suspect reportedly took off on foot and police say he was quickly apprehended by the K9 unit.
