WATCH: Video shows stolen vehicle going wrong way on Gardiner after woman, 70, allegedly carjacked by cyclist
The cyclist, who was on the Gardiner near Islington Avenue, stopped a motorist heading west, opened the door, pulled the driver – a 70-year-old woman – out of her seat and stole the car, Toronto police told CTV News Toronto.
Anna Kyskira was in another vehicle with her mom and boyfriend and took the video. She told CP24 that they started following the small Mazda to get its licence plate after noticing it driving with a flat tire and running a red at Windermere Avenue. “We finally caught up to it and it immediately started to make a U-turn on the highway as it saw a lineup of police cars parked on the side. It almost hit us but hit the truck behind us.”“The driver tried to go on the Park Lawn on-ramp and was getting out of the car to tell people to move but at this point the cops that we informed ran out to get them,” she said.
Officers said they chased the suspect on foot and caught up to her, leading to a violent confrontation and a subsequent arrest.
