The crash occurred shortly after 4 p.m. at the corner of Holley and Seymour streets; and then one of the men displayed a knife following the crash.

Police say that Emmanuel L. Walls Sr., 34, allegedly displayed a weapon during the incident. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries.

Deputy Police Chief Roger Anthony told The Citizen that an ‘off duty law enforcement officer’ was on-scene at the time of the crash and diffused the situation by giving commands until police could arrive.
