Abbotsford police are asking for help in finding a wanted man who allegedly rammed a police car and nearly drove into a group of people.

During a traffic stop at a townhouse complex on July 28, Guilbault rammed into a police car and hit a parked car as he fled the complex at high speed. Police say he also narrowly missed several bystanders and children.

Guilbault had been released on bail for a similar incident, police said.

Guilbault is described as five feet six inches, 150 pounds, with a slim build, brown hair and blue eyes. Police say he is missing all of his fingers on both hands.

Anyone who sees Guilbault is asked to contact Abbotsford police.
