Knoxville — An unnamed motorist was arrested Wednesday afternoon after he struck three Knox County Sheriff's Office cruisers in a North Knox County chase, authorities said.

"He faces a long list of charges including aggravated assault. He does not have a prior record," a Sheriff's Office release states.
No one was injured.
The incident began about noon Wednesday.
Authorities were called to Knoxville Tactical, a tactical gear store at 7609 Blueberry Road, about a report that a man was assaulting people in the parking lot.
"When the officer arrived, the suspect jumped into a car and hit the deputy’s vehicle," according to the Sheriff's Office.
The suspect drove on. He ended up striking the cars of two other deputies, according to the office.
The chase ended at Pedigo Road. Witnesses told 10News deputies used a "pit maneuver" to bring the vehicle to a stop.
A K-9 caught the man, whose name was to be released after he's charged.
