Based on the SIU, Toronto police had been searching for a person in Whitby and officers discovered him whereas he was driving a scooter with one other man.
An officer driving an unmarked police automobile hit the scooter within the parking zone. One other officer driving a second unmarked police automobile struck one of many scooter riders, an 18-year-old man, significantly injuring him.
The injured man was taken to hospital, the place he stays.
The opposite man on the scooter fled on foot and police arrested him. The SIU stated he was not significantly injured.
Anybody with details about the investigation, or who could have photographs or movies, is urged to come back ahead to talk to the SIU.
