Two children are injured following a chaotic scene in Salinas yesterday as the El Grito festival was wrapping up.
According to police, officers were in pursuit of a 15-year-old driver driving a stolen car when he burst thru the barricades of the El Grito festival, dragging the rear bumper of the car. The bumper crashed into a stroller carrying a child and apparently ran over another child’s foot.
The driver ditched the car and started running but not before festival goers were able to detain him until officers arrived.
The teen was arrested on numerous charges and booked into juvenile hall.
