Newly released video shows a man in a stolen car trying to ram into a Butler Township Police cruiser early Tuesday morning.
News Center 7 previously reported that the car was reported stolen by Butler Township Police around 2:35 a.m. and officers chased it on Benchwood Road before going on to Northbound Interstate 75, according to a Xenia Police report.
State troopers later saw the car, a silver Honda Sedan, just before 3 a.m. on Eastbound U.S. 35 near Research Boulevard.
They attempted a traffic stop but the vehicle failed to stop, an Ohio State Highway Patrol (OSHP) spokesperson told News Center 7.
The sedan matched the description of a stolen car out of Butler Township.
