Toronto police are looking for a Thai woman they allege stole a vehicle and was later involved in a hit-and-run captured on camera.

A witness filmed the aftermath of the collision, which occurred near Lansdowne Avenue and Dupont Street on Saturday around 3 p.m. ET, from his apartment window.

The driver and a passenger of a car that had been rear-ended car got out to exchange information with the other driver, who then accelerated, striking both men, according to police.

Bob Harnett said the stolen vehicle involved in the collision has since been recovered, and the two men who were struck will recover. Still, he said, the video is shocking.

"What shocked me the most out of it... was the sound of the thud of the second person getting hit," Harnett told CBC News.

As for the driver, Harnett said, "She's considered right now extremely dangerous if she's stealing cars and driving the way that she does."

Harnett also said the pictures the men took before they were hit may have cracked the case. Both men began taking photos, he said, when they noticed there were no plates on the offending vehicle.

Suspect facing multiple charges

The witness video, shot by documentary filmmaker Jonathan Balazs, appeared online later that day. It shows a black pickup truck stopped behind a black compact car on Lansdowne Avenue, with several people out on the street speaking to each other while a man stands in front of the truck. The truck's driver remains in her vehicle, though you can see her gesturing wildly.

After about 30 seconds, the truck accelerates, strikes the bystanders and speeds away along Lansdowne Avenue and east on Dupont Street.

One of the two bystanders is seen clutching his leg and limping off the street, where the others attend to him.

'Everybody was yelling at each other'

Balazs told CBC News that he grabbed his camera after hearing a commotion on the street outside. He shot the video from a window four storeys above the street.

"It's not uncommon for the din of the city to come into our house, but this seemed more serious, there was more shouting," he said. "Everybody was yelling at each other. As soon as I saw the emotional tension was so high, I instinctively reached for my camera … and I started shooting."

After the video was shared widely online, Toronto police identified Annatby (Anna) Ditthavong, 31, as the main suspect in connection with the incident.

Ditthavong is described as 5 feet 2 inches tall with a thin build, and police said she has long hair.

She's wanted on six charges, including theft of a motor vehicle, two counts of assault with a weapon and one count of failure to stop at the scene of an accident.
