Police officers chase a knife-wielding man running down Bathurst Street, before a cruiser following behind catches up to the fleeing man. The cruiser then pulls off to the side as nearby police officers rush to the man. According to a statement from Toronto police late Sunday, an injured officer was also taken to hospital. In a life-or-death situation, an officer can justify using their vehicle as a weapon. Steve Summerville, a former Toronto police officer and use-of-force instructor, disagreed, saying the force was reasonable considering the level of threat the man posed.
