A police car-chase has ended with the suspect driving into Capitol Police cruisers and other vehicles near Capitol Hill, in the latest security scare in the nation’s capital.
(FOX)- The suspect is now in custody.
The incident began at about 9:30 a.m. when police began chasing a vehicle near the Library of Congress and ended about a half-mile away when the vehicle was stopped by a road barricade and police fired shots.
The suspect hit police cruisers and civilian vehicles before being trapped and apprehended, Fox News is told.
It remains unclear why police started following the car.
The chase went past the Rayburn House Office Building, on Independence Avenue and occurred during the annual Cherry Blossom Festival, the height of Washington’s tourist season.
