A Wild Police Chase Was Caught On Video In Brampton & It Looks Like Absolute Chaos
Peel Regional Police (PRP) have arrested and charged the occupants of a vehicle that was filmed causing havoc in Brampton on Thursday afternoon.
According to a news release, the incident occurred on September 23, 2022, at around 3:15 p.m. when officers were alerted to a white Jeep "driving erratically" near Queen Street West and Chinguacousy Road.
The vehicle's driver attempted to evade police and, in the process, "struck two trees, three civilian vehicles, and several police cruisers," they added.
The motorist was taken into custody a short time later.
The incident's footage of the Jeep knocking over a tree and nearly hitting two police officers began circulating on social media on Thursday.

Despite the shocking nature of the clips, police have confirmed: "that no physical injuries were sustained by pedestrians, police or involved occupants of the vehicle." Phew!
