Police in Linden have a large crime scene established after an out of control vehicle struck several vehicles including two police cars this afternoon.
The incident began when a 27-year-old man struck a police vehicle after he entered the police headquarters parking lot sometime around 3:58 p.m. As he fled, the suspect struck a parked vehicle with his black Nissan SUV and then continued to the area near the intersection of West Henry Street and Spruce Street where he deliberately rammed into a second police car, where the officer managed to jump out of the vehicle unharmed.
The man was subdued and was taken to Trinitas hospital in Elizabeth for an evaluation pending the filing of criminal complaints.
According to reports, once the man was in custody at police headquarters, he assaulted two officers with Mace.
There were no official reports of any injuries at this time.
The incident remains under investigation.
