Officers initially responded to a 911 call of a road rage incident near Witte and Allegheny Avenue around 9:30 p.m., Philadelphia police said.

The victim told officers that Malik Johnson, of Horsham, who was driving a white Toyota, pointed a gun at him.

Officers tried to pull Johnson over in the 3100 block of Jasper Street, but he ignored their commands and fled the scene, they said.

A police helicopter chase ensued, which ended in the 2000 block of Fraley Street when Johnson crashed into an occupied police car, police said.

The injured officers were taken to Jefferson-Torresdale Hospital, where they were treated and released.

Police later learned that Johnson's car came back in stolen status for a carjacking and kidnapping in Pittsburgh, they said.

He was charged with simple assault, recklessly endangering another person, aggravated assault, fleeing police, and other related offenses.
