Diordiev, 21, faces multiple charges, including hit and run, dangerous driving and flight from a peace officer, related to the Oct. 19 incident where police fired shots at a suspected stolen car.

His bail conditions include 24-hour house arrest with some exceptions. Diordiev must also abstain from consuming non-prescribed drugs and is barred from driving while on release. He is also under a weapons prohibition.

Police said a man and woman were wounded after the vehicle they were in evaded barriers protecting the Freedom of the City parade for members of the Canadian military.

The Alberta Serious Incident Response Team said a black Toyota Corolla barged past barricades heading toward 40 to 50 members of the 41 Service Battalion, turning from 6th Street S.W. and onto 8th Avenue S.W.

Ignoring officers’ commands, the Toyota then struck a building after reversing onto a sidewalk, ASIRT said.

An officer fired three shots from his service pistol when the car advanced toward two Calgary police officers, it said.

Diordiev is due back in court on Jan. 7.
