A 24-year-old man reported he had been driving a black 2018 Porsche Cayenne southbound on Bathurst Street when he stopped at an intersection and was hit from behind by a black Ford Escape.
A man exited the Escape, approached the Porsche and demanded the victim’s vehicle while threatening him with a firearm.
The young man complied, and the suspect climbed into the Porsche and drove southbound on Bathurst Street, with the Ford Escape following.
A short time later, a patrol officer noticed a black Ford Escape with fresh damage on it at a gas station at Bathurst Street and Bloomington Road in Richmond Hill.

He was held for a bail hearing and is scheduled to appear in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Newmarket today.
The outstanding suspect is described as male, Black, 5’10”, with a slim build, wearing black clothing and a black ski mask.
