Jamauree Haygood of Dorchester was arraigned on Monday on several charges stemming from the incident, the Suffolk County District Attorney's Office said.
Haygood crashed into a barricade just around noon at the intersection of Walnut Avenue and Peter Parley Road, Boston Police said. Officers told him to stop, but he drove on anyway, authorities said. The impact pushed the wooden structure into two officers standing nearby. Responders took them to a local hospital for treatment of minor injuries.
“This incident demonstrates the dangers our officers face on a daily basis while striving to protect the communities we serve,” said Boston Police Superintendent-in-Chief Gregory Long in a statement. “I’m grateful the officers' injuries are non-life threatening and that they will be able to return to their families tonight.”
