A driver is facing charges of resisting arrest after leading police on an early-morning chase from Oak Lawn to Elk Grove Village, police said.
The man apparently injured a Hillside police officer while resisting arrest after police stopped the car he was driving near Oakton Street and Arlington Heights Road after a chase, Hillside police Sgt. Don Brown said.
“He didn’t want to submit to arrest and one officer was injured in the process,” Brown said.
The injured officer suffered minor injuries and was hospitalized out of precaution, the sergeant said.
The suspect was also taken to an unidentified hospital for precaution, Hillside police said.
The chase reportedly started in Oak Lawn, but police there would not immediately provide a time, location or reason the chase.
Elk Grove Village police confirmed being involved in the arrest of the man, and said they are investigating a crash that happened during a chase where a man struck a Stone Park police car.
