SAN ANTONIO — A male Bexar County deputy suffered minor injuries after they were hit by a driver "erratically" attempting to flee a traffic stop on the east side Thursday night.
The incident began near W.W. White Road around 8:30 p.m.
Officials say two BCSO deputies performed the traffic stop when the unidentified suspect decided to try and drive off. A brief pursuit ensued, and the individual was eventually detained several miles away along the 6100 block of the I-35 frontage road on the northeast side when they "crashed into a parked vehicle."
Three people in total were apprehended. The driver was arrested on charges of aggravated assault of a peace officer, evading arrest and unauthorized use of a vehicle.
Investigators later discovered the car was stolen.
