FROM FOX CAROLINA: A law-enforcement officer was hurt after a van rammed into vehicles on Sunday afternoon in Charlotte, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security said.
The federal agency posted a video on Nov. 16, which showed a white work van at an intersection along University City Boulevard, at the exit of The Commons at Chancellor Park shopping center.
In the video, the van was seen swerving out of the turn lane coming out of the shopping center, going through the grass, and getting back onto the roadway. The video also showed what looked like Border Patrol agents getting out of an SUV at the intersection. The agents were said to have been taking part in an operation, presumably Border Patrol’s “Charlotte’s Web.”
In a post on X, Homeland Security wrote, “LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER INJURED DURING ENFORCEMENT OPERATION.
“This afternoon in Charlotte near University City, a United States citizen weaponized his vehicle, driving a large van at law enforcement while they were conducting an operation. He immediately fled the scene, starting a dangerous high-speed chase through a densely populated area. During the chase, he attempted to ram into law enforcement vehicles— posing a serious public safety threat. As agents were boxing him in— the driver proceeded to ram law enforcement vehicles in an attempt to escape. When the driver was arrested, a firearms was found in the vehicle.
“One law enforcement officer was injured.
“The perpetrator has prior arrests for resisting law enforcement, public disturbance and intoxication/ disruptive conduct.”
