Saskatoon police have a man in custody after a police cruiser was stolen and an officer was hurt Friday evening.

At about 7 p.m. CST officers responded to a call of a man with a knife causing a disturbance in front of a home in the 100 block of Powe Street.

The suspect confronted the first officers on scene, who tried to use a stun gun to stop the man.

The suspect managed to avoid being stunned, and took off in a patrol car, police said.

One officer was dragged a short distance trying to stop the man, and received minor injuries.

A police chase followed, ending a short time later after the cruiser crashed into a truck on College Drive, between Cumberland Avenue and Campus Drive.

Officers chased after the man on foot until he was apprehended.

He was taken to hospital as a precaution. The injured officer has been treated and released.

No one else was hurt in the incident.

The entire incident will be reviewed including the use of the stun gun.
