Police say Jaime Alexander Brayton was driving westbound on the Long Island Expressway when he crashed his vehicle, disabling it along with multiple other vehicles just before 6:30 p.m. Saturday.
While victims were being assisted, Brayton allegedly got in the driver's side of a fire department vehicle.
Officer Matthew Corchia reached in to stop Brayton, who then drove forward, injuring Corchia's arm.
Brayton then drove off, resulting in a police chase. He was arrested a few minutes after.
Officer Corchia was treated for a minor shoulder injury at the hospital.
