PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- A Philadelphia officer was injured after a police cruiser was hit by a vehicle in the Sports Complex on Sunday evening.
It happened just before 6 p.m. at 1000 Pattison Avenue, in the area between Lincoln Financial Field and Citizens Bank Park in South Philadelphia, shortly before Eagles fans would have been leaving the Linc after Sunday's divisional round playoff game.
Police say the driver, identified as 45-year-old Thomas Herrschaft, was behind the wheel of a black Mercedes sedan with no registration displayed.
Herrschaft bypassed barriers and multiple Philadelphia police vehicles, nearly striking pedestrians as they crossed the street, investigators say.
After the car was blocked from both sides by police vehicles, investigators say Herrschaft put his car into reverse and slammed into a Philadelphia police cruiser.
The officer inside was treated and released from the hospital for injuries suffered in the crash.
A social media video, that's now part of the police investigation, captured the chaos.
Police pulled Herrschaft from the Mercedes and arrested him.
No one was home at a South Philadelphia address listed to Herrschaft. Police also listed an address for him in Sewell, New Jersey.
Herrschaft has been charged with driving without a license, DUI and accident caused by DUI.
