An 18-year-old suspected of crashing a vehicle into an Indio police patrol unit and fleeing on foot was arrested Tuesday following a brief pursuit.
Officers responded about 9:40 a.m. Tuesday to a report of a disturbance in the 81000 block of Dalea Avenue, according to Indio Police Department Sgt. Abraham Plata.
When officers arrived, they contacted an individual inside a Honda Accord, police said. The suspect allegedly backed the vehicle into a patrol car before fleeing on foot.
A brief foot pursuit followed, ending when the suspect was taken into custody, police said.
No injuries were reported, and the investigation was ongoing.
