You can probably draw your own conclusions from that.

I got the pursuit part wrong, it looks like they didn't pursuit but then ... boom, imminent danger. Maybe they shoulda.

A fleeing Richmond Hospital patient
stole a police cruiser before smashing into three vehicles in a bid to get away.
Just after noon on Monday, Richmond RCMP were called to the hospital after a report that a patient, who was not permitted to leave the premises, had fled on foot.
A Mountie found the man in question, but was unable to take him into custody before the suspect got into the police cruiser and drove off.
The man driving the stolen police car then collided with a civilian vehicle and an unmarked police car near Gilbert and Donald roads, just north of Blundell Road. He then collided with a second civilian vehicle on Gilbert, just south of Blundell, where he was arrested.
