MILWAUKEE — A woman was arrested after leading Milwaukee police on a pursuit through Humboldt Park and intentionally hitting a pedestrian on Monday, police said.
According to the Milwaukee Police Department, officers responded to the area of Euclid and Lenox around 5 p.m. for a complaint of reckless driving.
Officers attempted to stop the vehicle, but the driver fled from police at "low speeds." While fleeing from police, the driver struck a citizen vehicle and a police car.
The driver then drove over a curb onto the grassy area of Humboldt Park and intentionally struck a pedestrian, police said. The pedestrian, a 34-year-old Milwaukee woman, was not injured.
Police broke the window of the suspect's car and took the driver, a 33-year-old Milwaukee woman, into custody. The arrest occurred in Humboldt Park.
A witness said the victim was walking her dog when she was struck by the car.
Monday's incident comes just days after a mom and her infant were struck by a driver while trick-or-treating in the same park. That driver was never found.
