The next day, that officer returned with two others to issue a summons to the man, who was in his car, which he allegedly drove directly at the police before speeding away, authorities said.
He was eventually arrested in Paterson and charged with multiple counts of aggravated assault on a police officer and eluding apprehension, before being booked into the custody of the Bergen County Jail, police said.
