A driver rear-ended a San Jose patrol car on Friday morning, and ended up being arrested with the help of a security guard after he tried to run away.
Sgt. Heather Randol said the crash was reported at 5:45 a.m. in front of a Hyatt at San Carlos Street and Almaden Boulevard.
Randol said the officer had stopped at a red light when the driver smashed into the patrol car "at a high rate of speed."
The driver tried to run, but was stopped by a security guard from a nearby business.
Police took the driver into custody. Both the officer and driver sustained minor injuries and were both transported to a local area hospital. When the driver is released from the hospital, police said he will be booked on felony hit-and-run charges.
