Sgt. Joe Allegro, Park Station, saw a vehicle being recklessly driven in the Western Addition and made a traffic stop on the errant driver. Sgt. Allegro approached the car and or- dered the driver to turn the ignition off. The driver acted as though he was complying with Sgt. Allegro's request and then suddenly turned the steering wheel and accelerated in reverse trapping Sgt. Allegro up against a vehicle parked parallel to the suspect's. Joe just managed to jump over trunk of the parked car to escape, while the felony suspect backed up into the lane of traffic and then laid over 100 feet of skid while accelerating towards Sgt. Allegro. Joe managed to escape this second as- sault and the suspect and his vehicle were eventually taken into police custody.
