DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) - A Dayton police officer is being treated for injuries after getting hit by a van Tuesday evening.

The incident happened at 6:10 pm at Salem Avenue and Philadelphia Drive.

It all started when police received a call from a suicidal man.  Officers tried to stop his SUV.  An officer was throwing down stop sticks when a van hit him.  The officer is expected to be okay.

The suspect was arrested once his car, complete with a flat tire, stopped.  He initially told police there was a bomb inside his SUV, but that proved to be false.

The driver of the van was not involved in the chase and was not cited.

The suspect is expected to be charged with failure to comply and inducing panic.
