A dramatic police chase on the Gardiner Expressway earlier this year has resulted in no charges being filed against a Toronto cop after a 21-year-old suspect jumped off the roadway while fleeing arrest.
Ontario’s Special Investigations Unit says police received reports of two carjackings, one involvinga Rolls Royce stolen by three men, on June 16, 2025.
“A BMW rolled up on the guy and one of the carjackers pointed his gun at him and said to hand over the car,” a police source told theToronto Sunat the time.
The man, understanding that it’s not worth being shot to try to keep your treasured ride, complied.
“He threw the assailants his keys,” the police source said.
The men fled the Shops At Don Mills shopping area in the Rolls Royce and a BMW X5 and drove along the Don Valley Parkway until coming to a stop on the Gardiner in a police blockade.
The BMW driver fled on foot and officers chased him.

Suspect broken legs and broken spine in his fall
The Special Investigations Unit found no reasonable grounds to believe a Toronto Police officer committed a criminal offence in connection with the broken legs and broken spine suffered by a man in his fall from the Gardiner while fleeing arrest.
Husnain Javed, 21, of Toronto, was wanted by police forremoving his GPS ankle braceletin the area of Grenoble Dr. and Leeward Glenway.
Javed was an accused carjacker on numerous court conditions when he jumped from the Gardiner Expressway to avoid arrest.
He was charged with robbery with violence, disguise with intent, robbery with a firearm, two counts of property obtained by crime and fleeing while being pursued by a police officer in the June 16 incident.
“Our members and the communities they serve deserve answers,” Toronto Police Association boss Clayton Campbell said at the time.
“While our officers are being investigated by the SIU for their actions, we’ve learned the man arrested was already before the courts on multiple charges for home invasions and carjackings, some involving weapons.”
