A man from the Walkerton area has been arrested after Guelph Police said he tried to flee on an e-bike.
An officer was patrolling in the Woolwich Street and Woodlawn Road area on Thursday night when he saw a man riding an e-bike on the sidewalk without a helmet. The officer tried to stop the man, but he said the suspect made a U-turn and took off through a parking lot.
Police said he drove onto Woodlawn Road, forcing a transport truck driver to slam on the brakes to avoid hitting him, and then crossed several lanes of traffic before going into another plaza.
The man was found a short time later hiding behind a dumpster.
Police arrested the 63-year-old man and charged him with dangerous driving, flight form police and failing to wear a helmet.
