On Monday afternoon, a warrant suspect caused a collision in North Seattle that injured an officer. An arrest attempt was made in the 12000 block of Aurora Avenue North by members of SPD’s Gun Violence Reduction Unit and US Marshals Violent Offenders Task Force at about 4:30 p.m.
As officers approached the suspect, he attempted to drive away, hitting multiple police cars as he sat in his parked car. A car spun into another, pinning an officer who stepped out. The officer was transported to Harborview Medical Center, where he was treated for a broken leg.
It is believed that the suspect fled on foot after his vehicle became disabled after the collisions.
The 22-year-old suspect was taken to HMC to be checked for possible injuries. Police said the suspect will be booked into the King County Jail after his release from the hospital.
