Toronto stolen truck: Police horse struck, officer injured in dramatic arrest downtown

A police horse and an officer are both being treated after being struck in a dramatic arrest relating to a stolen vehicle located in the heart of downtown Toronto on Friday afternoon. Toronto police said a stolen Dodge Ram truck was spotted around 3:15 p.m. on Queen Street West near Beverley Street by community officers and mounted police. When officers tried to stop the vehicle and speak to the driver, he tried to flee the scene by allegedly driving at officers and horses and backing onto the sidewalk. He was eventually arrested after a brief chase on foot. “As mounted officers approached the vehicle, the suspect drove towards the mounted officers, striking one of the horses and continuing forward, striking head-on with a scout car,” Duty Inspector Scott Shutt said at the scene on Nov. 1.
