Standoff started with traffic violation

A three-hour standoff with a man who locked himself inside an SUV in Wortley Village Wednesday started after the suspect cut off an OPP cruiser on Wharncliffe Rd.
Officers followed the man to Craig St. where they pulled over the vehicle.
“He basically refused to speak to the officers, so they called for city police to attend to assist with dealing with this male,” said Const. Bob Hogan, a police spokesperson.
Police noticed the SUV had what appeared to be bulletproof windows.
