At approximately 2:45 p.m. on October 16th​ members of Halifax Regional Police​ noticed a vehicle that had previously been reported stolen in Pictou County heading​ inbound to Halifax on​ Old Sambro Road.​ ​

Patrol members​ attempted to conduct a traffic stop but the vehicle fled.​ ​ Officers lost sight of the vehicle and a​ short time later​ observed it on​ Randolph Street which is a cul de sac.

Officers blocked the vehicle in and attempted to arrest the lone occupant​ but​ the driver repeatedly rammed the stolen car into two Police cars causing damage and then​ caused​ damage to nearby lawns by driving over them.

Officers followed and​ arrested the 39 year-old male driver.​
