Two police cruisers were rammed by a vehicle the RCMP were attempting to stop after a brief chase Thursday afternoon.

Police say the RCMP attempted to stop a four-door Honda Civic at about 3:45 p.m. According to police the driver drove erratically and refused to stop.

Police say members pursued the vehicle briefly south on Territorial Drive towards the Frontier Mall and that the driver made efforts to evade police.

The vehicle was stopped in between two marked police vehicles at the intersection of Territorial Drive and Highway 16 when the driver rammed both police vehicles and fled east on Highway 16 in the west bound lane. The vehicle continued on Highway 16 east after crossing the roadway and fleeing east towards Saskatoon.

Police say no civilians or police were injured as a result of this incident and that the pursuit was not continued due to the risk to the public.

The driver was the lone occupant of the vehicle and his identity has not been confirmed.

Police are asking for the assistance of the public in providing information leading to the location of this vehicle, bearing Alberta licence plate BBP8635, and the driver. If sightings are confirmed please report to the nearest police service.
