Police detained an unidentified man on Sunday after he used his car as a weapon outside of the department’s East Precinct in Capitol Hill.
The Seattle Fire Department would only state that a 27-year-old was taken to the hospital but former University of Maryland basketball player Dino Gregory confirmed on social media that it was his brother, Dan.
