A man’s arrest in Toronto over the weekend took an unexpected turn after a police vehicle accidentally rolled over him twice, per TMZ.

Video from the scene shows officers using a Taser on a man in a parking lot. As the man falls to the ground, an officer gets out of a nearby SUV, which then slowly rolls forward over the suspect’s legs and bumps another officer.

Police quickly pushed the vehicle back, but the driver accidentally moved it forward again before reversing and honking twice. Toronto Police told TMZ the incident happened Saturday while officers were responding to reports of a person armed with knives who was damaging vehicles.

Both the suspect and the officer involved are expected to be fine. Police said the man only needed medical attention for Taser-related injuries and confirmed that the incident is under review.
