Williams struck multiple cars, including two police vehicles, then a building in the 1600 block of Booker Court. Police said Williams tried to escape the area on foot before officers arrested him.

Williams was taken to a nearby hospital with minor injuries. Another man, as well as three officers, were also treated at area hospitals.

The Baltimore Police Department’s Traffic Investigation Unit is investigating.

The arrest comes about a week after Anne Arundel Police officers shot at a woman accused of a carjacking in Severn. The woman drove toward police, striking one officer, two patrol vehicles and another car, police said. She was trying to get into another vehicle when officers apprehended her.
