EAST BRIDGEWATER — A 61-year-old East Bridgewater man faces multiple charges following an alleged road rage incident Sunday that involved striking another vehicle and attempting to hit pedestrians with his car.
Alan Eugene Stec was arrested after a pursuit that ended with him fleeing on foot and being subdued with a Taser, East Bridgewater Police Chief Michael Jenkins said.
Officers responded to a 911 call at approximately 12:05 p.m. Sunday reporting a road rage incident near 555 Washington St. The caller reported a driver had intentionally struck another vehicle and was trying to hit people on foot with his car.
Police located a damaged vehicle that refused to stop, driving onto a lawn and narrowly missing a police cruiser and oncoming traffic.
The driver continued into a backyard, ignoring officers’ orders to stop.
Stec eventually exited the vehicle near a wooded area and attempted to flee on foot.
After refusing commands to stop, an officer deployed a Taser.
Police allege Stec spit on officers after being taken into custody.
Stec faces 13 charges, including multiple counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, assault and battery on a police officer, and reckless operation of a motor vehicle.
He was held on $250,000 bail pending arraignment Monday in Brockton District Court.
