OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Omaha police have arrested a 36-year-old man who they say beat his brother, aimed a vehicle at officers and ran into a police cruiser. The man’s brother told responding officers that he escaped his brother after being struck several times as they argued Wednesday night. Police say the man was found sitting in his vehicle nearby in northeast Omaha, but he ignored commends to get out and then drove toward the officers, missing them.

Police say officers chased the man across the Missouri River into Council Bluffs, where he rammed a police cruiser before driving back into Omaha. He stopped in the Old Market area, where officers took him into custody with the aid of a police dog. Online court records don’t show that he’s been formally charged yet.
