THOMASVILLE, N.C. (AP) A North Carolina police officer was injured when a motorcyclist trying to elude law enforcement hit him during a chase, officials said.
Rowan County Sheriff’s Office deputies began pursuing the motorcycle on Thursday because it had no license plate and was heading north on Interstate 85, news outlets reported. State Highway Patrol Master Trooper Ned Moultrie said the chase crossed into Davidson County, where Thomasville police were assisting.
Thomasville police set up a road block to stop the motorcycle. When the suspect, identified as Brian Alexander Bacelli, 28, of Jamestown, reached the roadblock, he accelerated and hit an officer getting out of his car, authorities said.
