VAUDREUIL-DORION, Que. — A man was injured on Tuesday after a gunfire exchange with police just west of Montreal, authorities said.

The incident began when officers in a cruiser tried intercepting a driver, who then refused to stop, provincial police said.

The man’s vehicle ended up in the parking lot of a police station in Vaudreuil-Dorion, off the western tip of the island of Montreal.

Police spokeswoman Ingrid Asselin said the man stepped out of his vehicle and pointed at officers with what appeared to be a weapon.
