A Toronto police officer and two suspects were injured in an early morning rollover in Etobicoke, police say.
Officers with the province’s carjacking task force observed what they believed to be a stolen vehicle at an apartment complex near Eva Road and Highway 427 around 5:30 a.m., police said.
They allege the suspects tried to flee the scene when an officer attempted to stop them.
“The officers attempted to strategically box the vehicle in, in order to prevent a pursuit, and at that time the driver rolled the car in an attempt to get away,” acting Duty Insp. Errol Watson said at the scene.
Watson said the two suspects were removed from the car and arrested before being taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. A police officer sustained minor injuries, he said.
One resident who lives at the apartment complex told CBC Toronto that she woke up to a commotion and ran outside to see what happened.
“All of a sudden [I heard] a big loud crash,” said Lynn Gordon. “It sounded like the building was coming down.”
She said it was shocking to witness such an incident in her neighbourhood.
“It’s a good area normally. It’s gone downhill the last few years. I don’t know what’s been going on,” she said.
Four cars were damaged as a result of the incident and there are no outstanding suspects, Watson said.
