Officers found the vehicle in the area of First and Mix avenues but the driver did not stop, instead continuing onto Campbell Avenue and colliding with several other vehicles at the intersection with West Spring Street.
Police said the driver left the car and fled on foot, but then returned to the area and stole a police patrol car, hitting several officers as he drove off. One officer was almost run over as the driver accelerated, police said.
The driver drove the vehicle through a fence at the Oak Grove cemetery where it stopped, police said. He was then stopped and arrested. A second person who was in the original vehicle was also arrested.
