A man was arrested Friday evening after Pittsburgh police accused him of fleeing a crash scene and driving through a North Side park.
According to a release from Pittsburgh Public Safety, officers responded around 6:50 p.m. to a report of a vehicle hitting a tree in the 300 block of Cedar Avenue.
When officers located the driver, near the intersection of Cedar and East Ohio Street, police said he refused commands to get out of the vehicle, driving through nearby Allegheny Commons Park where he struck a second tree and nearly struck multiple officers.
The man struck a third object, disabling the vehicle, before he was taken into custody. Medics took the man, whom police did not name, to a local hospital for minor injuries.
No officers or civilians in the park were injured.
