RCMP say a man has been arrested – and is facing multiple charges after a series of alleged car thefts and stabbings Sunday evening.

Officials say the suspect was first involved in a high-speed crash in Richmond near the East-West Connector and Highway 99.

He reportedly rear-ended a minivan with a family of three people inside.

All were sent to hospital with unknown injuries.

He then drove the vehicle into Vancouver, where police say he allegedly tried to rob a man at an ATM near Victoria and Kingsway.

He then went across the street to a gas station and car-jacked a second vehicle.

The driver received minor injuries, but was able to escape with his wife and two children, before the suspect drove off in the stolen car.

Police immediately started the hunt for the suspect car, a 2002 grey four-door Honda Civic with BC license plate 360 SGR.

The man was described as white, early 30’s, 6′ tall, with a heavy build, a light goatee with stubble, short brown hair, wearing a white shirt and blue jeans.

RCMP say the suspect was taken into custody late Sunday night in the area of 109 Avenue and 132A Street in Surrey.
