And now a 38-year old Surrey man is in custody following a one-man rampage that destroyed six police cruisers and flooded the emergency room of Burnaby General Hospital. The man is being held by RCMP pending a psychiatric evaluation, The vehicle mayhem began at Lougheed Mall early Sunday morning. The suspect is believed to have driven a stolen Jeep from Surrey to the mall, where he then had an initial collision, hitting a police cruiser parked near the detachment’s community policing office. The man then got out of the Jeep and managed to start up a five-tonne truck that was in the parking lot. From there he ran into and over the six police vehicles and a van owned by the City of Burnaby. “It is almost like right out of a movie,” said Burnaby RCMP Staff Sgt. Major John Buis as he looked over the six smashed RCMP cars and the Burnaby van. “This is a very unique incident,” he added. The man is alleged to have rammed the stolen truck into the police cruisers at 1:20 a.m. Sunday. According to Buis, the man was apprehended after he tried to run from the scene after colliding with a hydro pole while in the truck. Despite the loss six fully loaded police cruisers, Buis said day-to-day operations will not be impacted. The suspect was taken into custody and charged with mischief and theft over $5,000. Burnaby RCMP are also trying to determine exactly what happened at Burnaby General early Sunday. A burst pipe flooded the emergency ward, forcing hospital staff to transfer patients to other parts of the facility. Buis said the suspect was handcuffed when police took him from the truck crash, but when medical staff at Burnaby General went to check him, the cuffs were off. “It was a split second and he was able to reach up and pull down the sprinkler system,” said Buis. He said the suspect was taken to Burnaby General to have a mental evaluation. The emergency ward at BGH is open but hospital officials are asking people to use other hospitals if possible, until the problem is resolved. A hospital official said Sunday night the damage figure has yet to be determined.[/QUOTE] [url]http://www.theprovince.com/news/RCMP+cruisers+destroyed+rampaging+late+night+driver+Burnaby/9261717/story.html[/url]

I thought 'flooded hospital' would be a euphemism for 'sending 6 cars worth of police officers to the ER,' so I was really surprised when I read he actually flooded the hospital
