Two men were arrested early Friday after fleeing a traffic stop and later hitting a Daytona Beach police cruiser, injuring the officer inside, according to Daytona Beach Police Department officials.
On Thursday, a Daytona Beach police sergeant attempted to conduct a traffic stop at Bellevue Avenue and South Martin Luther King Boulevard for a non-visible tag.
According to the arrest report, the driver, later identified as Sylvester Armstrong, 38, didn’t stop and attempted to elude the sergeant.
The officer notified Volusia County Sheriff’s Office dispatch and other police in the area. Officers to the north saw the car as it approached Bellevue Avenue on Marion Street, according to the report.
