INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - A man faces charges including attempted murder after police said he crashed into a police car during a chase over several highways Thursday morning.

The chase started in Johnson County after Franklin Police were called at about 2:45 a.m. Thursday to a domestic problem at a residence on Dowden Drive. The initial report said a man broke into his brother's home and that someone had a weapon.

As police arrived, the suspect, Lawrence Mulry, 42, took off in his car, leading police on a chase north on Interstate 65. 

Police said the man rammed a police car near Interstate 465 and I-65 on the south side of Indianapolis and continued onto I-465. Thinking that the suspect had struck the officer, another officer fired shots at him, Franklin Police Department said in a news release. The driver's side window of the suspect's vehicle was shot out.

An officer suffered a chin wound as he tried to get back into his patrol car to continue the pursuit, and he was taken to Johnson Memorial Hospital, where he was treated and released.

Police got the vehicle stopped at I-465 and U.S. 31 South. When the suspect attempted to run away, a Johnson County Sheriff's Department police dog was used to apprehend him.

Mulry now faces preliminary charges of attempted murder, reckless driving, operating while intoxicated, operating while intoxicated - endangerment, operating while suspended prior, resisting law enforcement, mischief, battery and intimidation.
