BRAMPTON – A destructive and drunk Indo-Canadian driver from Quebec who tried to evade police and created a mess in Brampton was arrested by police after a short chase.

Yudhbir Randhawa, 31, is now facing a slew of charges after police tried to stop him from wreaking havoc on a residential street in Brampton, Ont.

Randhawa faces seven charges, including impaired operation while impaired- drugs, flight from peace officer and possession of a controlled substance- Heroin and Methamphetamines, among others.

Police say Randhawa has a criminal history, which includes “convictions for dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, flight from police and drug-related offences.”

The two passengers, 41-year-old Harpreet Saggu from Brampton and 23-year-old Jashanpreet Singh from Lasalle, Quebec, were also charged with drug-related offences.

Both Saggu and Singh were released on an undertaking and will attend court in November and December, respectively.

Peel Regional Police say a concerned citizen flagged down a patrol officer in the area of Queen Street West and Chinguacousy Road about a white Jeep driving erratically nearby around 3:15 p.m. on Thursday.

Police eventually located Randhawa and the vehicle at Chinguacousy and Drinkwater roads.

 “They made several attempts to make sure that the vehicle would come to a stop. They (the Jeep) did try to evade police as you can see in the video,” Const. Heather Cannon said Friday.

In a video of the incident posted to Twitter, two officers are seen confronting the driver of the Jeep on the front lawn of a residence.

One officer appears to have his weapon drawn at the vehicle.

The Jeep then reverses, drives into and knocks down a tree on the driveway, and then reverses again into a traffic light post.

As the Jeep drives forward in an attempt to evade police it crashes head-on into an incoming vehicle on the street.

The Jeep is then seen reversing and correcting its course several more times before driving further down the street and coming to a stop.

At this time, another police cruiser is seen arriving at the scene while the Jeep continues to reverse yet again.

In another video posted to Twitter, several police cruisers are seen parked around the Jeep at the scene.

On Friday, police confirmed that the driver and two passengers inside the Jeep were arrested and charged.

Police say no injuries to pedestrians, police or involved occupants of the vehicle were reported.

“…It’s absolutely stunning that nobody was injured. Nobody was injured here and we’re dealing with, you know, police working with the public to, you know, bring this to a safe conclusion,” Cannon said.

Peel police Chief Nishan Duraiappah thanked officers on Twitter for their efforts in ending the situation safely.

Police said the driver struck a total of two trees, three civilian vehicles and several police cruisers in an attempt to flee the scene.

Randhawa was eventually cleared medically and held for a bail hearing. He appeared before the Ontario Court of Justice in Brampton on Friday, September 23, 2022.

He faces a slew of charges, which include:

*Impaired Operation While Impaired – Drugs

*Failure or Refusal to Comply with Demand – Drugs

*Flight from Peace Officer

*Fail to Comply with release order

*Possession for the Purpose – Schedule 1 Other Drugs

*Possession of a Controlled Substance – Heroin
