The moped then proceeded to collide with the rear corner panel of the squad car in an attempt to escape.
The driver, later identified as Cruz, was apprehended at the scene. The complaint alleges that both Cruz and a passenger were found to have open containers of alcohol in their possession while riding the moped.
Cruz has been charged with the offence of fleeing/eluding an officer, which resulted in bodily harm.
