"A dramatic video circulating on social media shows a Toronto police vehicle "inadvertently" running over a female suspect and an officer during an arrest on the weekend. Toronto police said in an email on Monday that they are aware of the video and reviewing the circumstances of the arrest. At about 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, police said they responded to reports of a woman with knives, allegedly damaging vehicles, in a plaza parking lot in the area of Jane Street and Alliance Avenue, south of Eglinton Avenue W."
"In the video posted by 6ixBuzzTVon X, formerly Twitter, the suspect is struck with a conducted energy weapon. She screams and falls to the ground. A few officers come running over and one officer hops out of a police vehicle. That vehicle rolls forward, colliding with the suspect and an arresting officer. The officer then jumps back into the vehicle to regain control of it and it rushes forward. The suspect can be heard screaming and one officer can be heard yelling for the driver to backup. The vehicle runs over the suspect's legs again. Other officers restrain the suspect, telling her to stop resisting. Neither the suspect nor the officer was seriously injured, according to police."
At about 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, officers responded to reports of a 23-year-old woman with knives allegedly damaging vehicles in a plaza parking lot near Jane Street and Alliance Avenue, south of Eglinton Avenue W. The woman was arrested and charged with one count of weapons dangerous and four counts of mischief under and appeared in court on Sunday. Video posted on X shows the suspect struck with a conducted energy weapon, falling as a police vehicle then rolled forward and collided with the suspect and an arresting officer. Neither the suspect nor the officer sustained serious injuries, according to police. A retired staff sergeant suggested the vehicle may have been left out of park amid heightened stress rather than as a deliberate act.
