On Friday, police said officers are still on the hunt for the man behind the wheel of a Ford Focus that struck the cruisers on Thursday afternoon in Kitchener.

According to police, members of their direct action response team (DART) were trying to pull the Ford Focus over shortly after 3 p.m. near Kinzie and Thaler avenues.

They say the suspect rammed two cruisers with his vehicle before making his getaway on Thaler Avenue.

There were no injuries reported to police as a result of the incident.

DART was also involved on Tuesday when other cruisers were rammed at around 6 p.m. near Stirling Avenue and Highland Road.
