Thanks to a witness who decided to follow the driver and provided updates to dispatchers on the continuously dangerous driving, officers were able to box the car in at Main and National.
Harpreet Gill, the 37-year-old driver of the vehicle, was arrested and has been charged with dangerous driving. Police say additional charges, including impaired driving, are expected.
No one was injured and there was minor damage to the vehicles involved. Gill, from Surrey, remains in custody.
