2 officers injured, man arrested after dangerous driving incident on Ambassador Bridge

Police in Windsor, Ontario, Canada, say two officers are injured and a 32-year-old man was arrested after a dangerous driving incident on the Ambassador Bridge Friday afternoon.

Officers with the Windsor Police Service were called to the bridge around 2:30 p.m. to help the Canada Border Services Agency after a motorist, later identified as the man, failed to stop at the border inspection lanes.

While officials were speaking with the man, he "became combative," according to police.

"When asked to step out of the vehicle, he refused and began driving the car at a high rate of speed, injuring one Windsor Police officer and one CBSA officer," police said. Their injuries are not life-threatening.

The vehicle hit several barriers and flipped over, according to officials. The man was arrested after fleeing the scene on foot.

Police said the man is charged with one count each of dangerous operation of a vehicle, obstructing a peace officer and assaulting a peace officer with a weapon.
