A 25-year-old Saskatoon man is now facing nearly 20 charges in relation to a police chase that saw gunshots fired, several police cruisers smashed and numerous vehicles damaged earlier this summer.

Timothy Gunn was handed three more charges this week including aggravated assault of a peace officer and two counts of possession of stolen property, bringing the total number of charges against him to 19.

Gunn was charged with dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, possession of a stolen vehicle and assault with a weapon shortly after the June 25 police pursuit that took officers across Saskatoon. He was hit with additional charges about two weeks after the incident including assault on a police officer with a truck, wearing a disguise with intent to commit an indictable offence, driving causing bodily harm and failing to stop at the scene of an accident.

He is scheduled to appear in Saskatoon provincial court Friday morning to face the three new charges.

Gunn allegedly damaged four police cruisers and at least six civilian vehicles in the span of an hour.

He was wearing a bandana over his face during the chase, according to police.

The incident began June 25 just after 4:30 p.m. when police were called about a truck driving erratically around Avenue I and 19th Street.

Officers pursued the vehicle before the chase was called off at 8th Street and Lorne Avenue. The vehicle doubled back into the downtown area where the driver crashed into two vehicles while avoiding stop sticks deployed by police at Idylwyld Drive and 20th Street.

The truck continued to Avenue Q where it hit a police cruiser and was involved in three more collisions before moving towards a police officer who was trying to clear people from the sidewalk near Avenue Q and 24th Street, police said.

The officer pulled his gun and fired shots at the suspect vehicle before getting out of the way.

At Fairlight Drive another police cruiser was badly damaged and a third police vehicle was damaged when the officer rammed the truck to bring it to a stop at Circle Drive and 11th Street.

The driver tried to flee on foot but he was arrested with the help of a police dog. Police said the driver suffered injuries from the collisions and from the dog. He was not injured by the gunshots.

One civilian suffered non-life threatening injuries during the incident. No police officers were injured.
