2 more boys arrested in connection with stolen vehicle involved in officer being struck on Leaside Bridge
Police say a 12-year-old driver faces attempted murder charges after striking an officer, and two other boys were later charged.
- Toronto police announced Wednesday that three boys face charges following a Monday incident where a 12-year-old driver allegedly struck an officer with a stolen car on Leaside Bridge.
- The Special Investigations Unit is investigating after officers attempted to box in the vehicle, resulting in 'contact' between the car and cruisers, and an officer being struck by gunfire.
- SIU spokesperson Kristy Denette said both the officer and the 12-year-old driver have been released from hospital, with the boy now in custody at a youth centre.
- Two other boys, aged 12 and 14, were also charged with possession of property obtained by crime worth more than $5,000, though the Youth Criminal Justice Act prevents identification of all three youths.
- Police initially responded to a report of a stolen vehicle near Donlands Avenue and O Connor Drive in East York just after 1 a.m., where the pursuit began before moving to Leaside Bridge.
