On Nov. 27, at about 10:50 p.m., Houston Police Department officers responded to an assault in-progress call.
Two officers, who were in a marked police car, saw Sorto taking off and followed him to the intersection of 70th Street and J.W. Peavy Drive.
Sorto made a U-turn at the intersection, drove toward the officers as they tried to reverse out of the way, and crashed into them head-on before he fled on foot.
Police said they searched the area but did not immediately find him. The officers in the crash were transported to a local hospital with minor injuries.
Further investigation identified Sorto as the suspect and he was arrested Wednesday without incident.
