VAUDREUIL-DORION, Que. - A man was injured on Tuesday after a gunfire exchange with police just west of Montreal, authorities said.
The incident began when officers in a cruiser tried intercepting a driver, who then refused to stop, provincial police said.
The man's vehicle ended up in the parking lot of a police station in Vaudreuil-Dorion, off the western tip of the island of Montreal.
Police spokeswoman Ingrid Asselin said the man stepped out of his vehicle and pointed at officers with what appeared to be a weapon.
Shots were exchanged and the suspect was taken to hospital with injuries that are not considered life-threatening.
None of the officers in the chase or the shooting were injured.
Asselin said the man's car was reported stolen.
The case has been transferred to Quebec's new bureau for independent investigations into police shootings, which began operating in June.
