Sudbury police say the man arrested downtown after a wild chase on an electric scooter Saturday -- that was caught on video -- was wanted on several charges related to an incident at Laurentian University last week.
The 35-year-old man is accused of trying to run down three people in the university parking lot with a vehicle around 1:30 pm. April 8.
Police told CTV News in an email he was parked in a vehicle when the trio exited theirs and he then started revving the engine and accelerated directly towards them, forcing them to run up an embankment to escape.
"The three individuals do not know him and have had no prior involvement with him," Greater Sudbury Police Service spokesperson Kaitlyn Dunn told CTV News.
"He then drove the vehicle down South Bay Road where he located another vehicle that was parked in a parking lot and smashed the window of the vehicle, unprovoked. This individual has demonstrated a complete disregard for public safety, has engaged in behaviours that have placed numerous individuals at risk of serious injury and has damaged private property for absolutely no reason. "
Because of those two incidents, he was wanted for three counts of assault with a weapon, two counts of dangerous operation, uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm, causing a disturbance and mischief to property.
