“The driver was observed travelling westbound on the one-way street on Erb Street East and was travelling towards oncoming traffic,” police spokesperson Andre Johnson told Global News.
Police say the suspect fled his vehicle in a nearby parking lot before officers arrived at the scene but they tracked him down a short time later.
“The individual was found to be in possession of identity documents, a stolen catalytic converter and in possession of stolen licence plates,” Johnson said.
The vehicle was also allegedly stolen as well.
A 36-year-old Kitchener man was arrested and is facing a multitude of driving and stolen property-related charges.
