Federal agents on Sunday reportedly injured a U.S. citizen, who ended up at the hospital for his injuries.

Police spoke to a man in one of the cars wearing a vest with “police” written on it, who said he was a federal agent investigating a fugitive.
“The agent told the officer that agents had attempted to identify an individual who resembled a person they were seeking.

He was released.”…
