Victoria police said officers arrested a suspected drug-impaired driver Sunday night and the incident was caught on video.
A vehicle crashed into a business at The Bay Centre, in the 1100-block of Douglas Street, just before 11 p.m., police said.
Police found the vehicle and the driver but he attempted to flee, Victoria police said in a release.
Officers then used a stun gun and tried to get the man out of his car, but he continued to resist arrest and was put on the ground before he could be arrested, police added.
