BALTIMORE — A Baltimore man is accused of hitting police vehicles and officers with his car, which prompted them to shoot at officers, on Sunday.

Just before 9 p.m., police were called to the 1200 block of E. North Avenue for reports of an armed person. Officers pulled up behind a 2016 gray Honda Accord with tinted windows, according to charging documents.

The suspect, identified as Willie Millings, 25, ignored multiple commands from officers to get out of the car, according to the documents.

Millings then allegedly drove his car at police vehicles, and also hit the officers with his car, knocking them to the ground.

One of the officers shot at Millings. Millings drove away in his car, and wasn't struck by gunfire.

He was ultimately apprehended in the 1500 block of Holbrook Street.

One of the officers was taken to a local hospital and later released.

Millings is charged with two counts of assault on a police officer.
