A man is facing a number of charges after he reportedly tried to evade Saskatoon police on Monday morning.
Police said officers spotted a Suzuki Grand Vitara that was driving in a suspicious manner at around 12:30 a.m. in the area of Avenue B North and 35th Street.
The Grand Vitara, which police said had a stolen licence plate, took off when officers tried to stop it.
Officers said they were able to disable the vehicle with a tire deflation device and it stopped at Spadina Crescent and Avenue D South.
The driver was then tracked down by a police dog when he tried to run away, police said, and had to be treated for a minor dog bite.
Police said officers also had to use a Taser on the suspect due to his aggressive behaviour.
The 40-year-old Saskatoon man is charged with dangerous driving, evading police, possession of stolen property and breach of undertaking. He was also wanted on outstanding warrants, police said.
