During the brief chase, the lead patrol vehicle was struck on the driver's side by another vehicle. The officer driving the vehicle was taken to the hospital as a precaution, Aikens said. 

"I imagine he's going to be OK, he was complaining of some arm pain," Aikens said. 

Police haven't determined who was at fault in the accident, Aikens said. 

Police arrested the suspect after they exited their vehicle and attempted to flee on foot. 

"They were arrested quickly after a short chase," Aikens said. 

Anderson Police are investigating the incident.
