Police are searching for a man who reportedly reversed an SUV into a Brampton restaurant Saturday evening, injuring three people.

The condition of one person was initially believed to be life-threatening, but Peel Regional Police say all three are now expected to recover.

Police report that a woman left her vehicle running outside Island Cuisine on Clarence St. near Kennedy Rd. S. while she went into a store. A man got into the vehicle; when the woman returned, she asked him to get out. Instead, he is said to have put the car in gear, hitting the gas and backing into the business.

Police say the man was known to the woman and has been identified. They have not disclosed further details.

Investigators on Sunday were looking for the man, who they say fled the scene on foot.

The Brampton Guardian reports that the SUV did extensive damage to the front of the restaurant, which is closed and cordoned off for an investigation.
