The man alleged to have stolen a police car and collided with three vehicles in Richmond last week has now been charged.

Muhammad Farid, 40, of Abbotsford, appeared in a Richmond Provincial court yesterday morning, October 9, to answer to one charge each of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing bodily harm and flight from peace officer. Farid is expected to appear again this morning.

The woman who was injured in the collision remains in hospital and is expected to recover from her serious but non-life threatening injuries.

Given that this matter remains the subject of independent investigation by the IIO BC, we are not in a position to provide any further information but felt it was important to provide an update with respect to the status of the RCMP investigation, states S/Sgt.
