Arlington County police have obtained multiple warrants for a man accused of driving toward two medics while fleeing an encounter with emergency personnel on North Quinn Street.
Officers and fire personnel responded to the 1700 block of North Quinn Street on November 7 following a report of public intoxication. When they arrived, they found a man asleep in the driver’s seat of a vehicle.
After waking, the man allegedly attempted to drive away and struck an unoccupied police cruiser. Police said an officer issued commands that the driver ignored before accelerating his vehicle, forcing two medics to run to avoid being struck.
The suspect fled southbound on North Quinn Street at a high rate of speed. Additional officers searched the surrounding area but were unable to locate him.
No injuries were reported, and the police cruiser sustained minor damage.
Investigators subsequently identified the suspect and obtained warrants charging him with two counts of assault on medics, eluding police and hit and run.
