The 911 call reported the incident occurred in the parking lot behind a Main Street business and additional  information indicated the suspect had fled the scene on a motorcycle. Within minutes of receiving the call, a  possible suspect was located, but the motorcyclist refused to stop for police. A pursuit ensued heading out of the  city on West Main Street and the suspect was able to avoid apprehension. He was last seen traveling north on  Wildwood Road.

During the pursuit, two police cruisers collided at the intersection of West Main Street and Wildwood Road. Three  officers suffered minor injuries in the crash, and they were transported to a local hospital for evaluation where  they were treated and released.

This investigation is ongoing, and anyone having information about the whereabouts of the suspect, or the incident is asked to call the Salem Police Department Detectives Division at (540) 375-3083.
