At the same time a traffic signalman named Fabrizio Altieri was hit by a car. Mr. Beland was thrown face first to the ground. He was hospitalized in critical condition.
The 68-year-old fugitive turned himself in to a Montreal police station, where he was questioned by investigators before being released.
No charges have been filed against him at present.
