Sudbury Police say a 51-year-old man is facing multiple charges, after allegedly stealing a vehicle and fleeing from police.

On Sunday, police received a report of a vehicle that was stolen on Riverside Drive.

Police say the man who took the car drove to an apartment complex on Ramsey View Court where he was involved in an altercation with another man.

The man is facing a long list of charges, including theft of a motor vehicle, two counts of possession of property obtained by crime, failing to stop at the scene of an accident, two counts of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, assault, impaired driving and driving while disqualified.
