While driving in front of the cruiser, a white BMW X3 suddenly accelerated and sideswiped another car as it continued travelling on Silvercreek, police allege.

No one was hurt and police said they did not pursue the SUV in the interest of public safety.

Authorities said three men in their 20s were seen in the vehicle, which had Quebec licence plates.

The SUV was last seen travelling south on the Hanlon Expressway.
