The incident began when troopers attempted to stop Tylik D. Wilson Brown, 22, of Yonkers, around 2:30 a.m., Wednesday, Nov. 25, in a 2014 Kia Forte for a violation of the vehicle and traffic law on the northbound Sprain Brook Parkway in the town of Greenburgh, said Trooper AJ Hicks.

Brown failed to comply and led the troopers on a pursuit on the parkway before exiting at West Cross Street and ended when he crashed into a pole in a parking lot, said Hicks.

Troopers responding exited their vehicles attempting to place Brown into custody. Brown then attempted to strike a Trooper with his vehicle, Hicks said.
