Police officers managed to defuse a confrontation after a woman jumped up onto two of their cruisers and stomped repeatedly on them

Videos uploaded to YouTube depict the incident, in which the woman approaches a stopped police cruiser and proceeds to leap on to the hood and repeatedly stomp on the front windshield.

When another cruiser arrives on the scene, she stomps on its windshield, too. She then walks onto the roof of the car and poses triumphantly on the top as officers and bystanders look on. She breaks through the rear window of the car before climbing down and walking towards a nearby ambulance, where she is restrained by police.

The Toronto Police Service says they were able to diffuse the situation without the use of force.

Police say they responded to the call at an intersection near Finch Ave. and Milady Rd. They described the woman’s condition as “emotionally disturbed.”

“When I arrived on the scene, I observed the female in the middle of the street and she was irate and screaming at surrounding vehicles,” said Const. Christofer Lemieux, the driver of one of the cruisers, in a news release.

“As I stopped the scout car, she immediately turned her focus on the police vehicle.”

That’s when she started stomping on the cars, police say.

Police Chief Mark Saunders said in a release that the officers handled the call admirably.

“Their response to mental health, I think that is one of the most underestimated things that we do,” Saunders said.

“The men and women have done a fantastic job. And those are the stories that are unfortunately not heard by the public, but I can tell you they are recognized by the command. They’re recognized by me. They’re recognized by unit commanders.”

Toronto police responded to more than 23,400 calls for emotionally disturbed people in 2016, as of November 2016.
