HALIFAX – Police in Halifax say two officers were injured while pursuing an SUV that allegedly tried to hit them during a chase through the city.
They say a white SUV was doing damage to a sculpture on the Halifax waterfront at about 4:20 a.m. and began to follow it.
Officers say when they approached the vehicle in the Bayers Road area, the driver sped toward them to strike them, but they were able to jump out of the way.
They say the SUV also drove toward another police car before it fled onto a highway, where they allege the driver again tried to hit a police car.
Police say the driver turned the lights off and drove the wrong way on Highway 102 before stopping, when police arrested the 30-year-old driver and a 28-year-old passenger.
They say one officer was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries while the SUV driver suffered minor injuries.
