A video of a wild police chase in Montreal is going viral on social media showing officers run after three suspects on foot on a busy highway.
The 16-second video has five million views on TikTok as of Monday afternoon since it was posted on Sunday. Although the video is only surfacing now, Quebec provincial police confirmed the chase happened on Jan. 7.
The video shows part of the police chase on the Decarie Expressway where three suspects are seen sprinting down the roadway as traffic is at a standstill behind them.
A Sûreté du Québec (SQ) officer exits a cruiser and attempts to detain one of the men who are fleeing, but he manages to slip through the officer's fingers and keeps running.
His two alleged accomplices also keep running, including one who appears to be waving to the person recording the video from an overpass.
The SQ confirmed Monday that all three individuals were arrested.
The provincial police said in an email to CTV News that around noon on Jan. 7, three suspects robbed a cell phone store on Boivin Street in Granby, Que., about 80 kilometres east of Montreal.
