The frightening scene unfolded Sunday afternoon when officers tried to pull over the driver for a vehicle code violation. He proceeded to pull into a hotel drop-off area near the popular downtown holiday display, make a U-turn, hit a parked vehicle and take off. He then drove the wrong way on Market Street before driving through Christmas in the Park.
No one was hurt, and no displays were damaged.
