According to WISN, officers arrived on the scene around 12:13 p.m. to find the victim who had been hit on purpose and was then rushed to the hospital and is expected to survive.
Shortly after the on-foot altercation took to the streets, the Oak Creek Police located the suspect’s vehicle. When attempting to pull the driver over the suspect fled, and a pursuit ensued that was later abandoned near Interstate 94 and the Racine County line.

As the investigation is still in motion, no further details have been released at this time as indicated in reports from local news outlets…
