An East Bridgewater man is facing charges following an alleged road rage incident.
East Bridgewater Police say that shortly after noon on Sunday they received a 911 call reporting that a driver had intentionally struck another vehicle the area of 555 Washington St. and was trying to hit multiple pedestrians with his car.
Officers arrived on scene and found a damaged vehicle that refused to stop.
Police say the car continued onto a lawn, then narrowly missed a police cruiser and oncoming traffic on Washington Street.
It continued driving into the backyard of a home, and refused multiple orders being given by officers to stop.
The driver, identified as 61-year-old Alan Eugene Stec, eventually exited the vehicle near a wooded area and attempted to flee on foot.
An officer deployed their Taser when Stec refused to stop, and he allegedly spit on officers after he was taken into custody.
Stec was initially transported to a local hospital for an evaluation before he was brought to the police station for booking.
He was held on $250,000 bail at the police station and was expected to be arraigned on Tuesday in Brockton District Court on charges of Assault and Battery with a Dangerous Weapon (Two Counts); Assault and Battery with a Dangerous Weapon on a Child Under 14; Assault with a Dangerous Weapon; Malicious Destruction of Property Under $1,200; Reckless Operation of a Motor Vehicle; Disorderly Conduct; Resisting Arrest; Failure to Stop for Police; Assault and Battery on a Police Officer (Three Counts); Assault and Battery (Three Counts); Marked Lanes Violation; and Failure to Stop or Yield.
