Police say that during the nearly 40-minute pursuit, a 32-year-old man drove recklessly through the downtown and residential neighbourhoods during the morning rush hour. He also struck civilian vehicles and two police cars.

Douglas Gagnon witnessed the pursuit on his way to work. He said it was like a scene from a movie.

He said an officer shot at the truck from the armoured vehicle.
