Officers said they saw a black Audi cross the double yellow lines along May Street around 7 p.m. and nearly hit two oncoming cars, authorities said. Police arrested the driver — Davien Watson, 43, of Worcester — on an outstanding warrant. 

As police were questioning the passenger to see if he had a driver's license, the man jumped from the car and ran away. Officers chased him down to a backyard on Maple Tree Lane and arrested him.
