LYNN — A Lynn man is headed to court after police said he sideswiped three cars on Western Avenue Monday morning and hit a fence before officers arrested him on Tracy Avenue.
The incident began at 8:19 a.m. as Salem resident Erin Silva drove down Western Avenue from her Salem home on her way to work. She said the driver of a Chevrolet Malibu sideswiped her car and sped up as he passed her.
“He started speeding. I tried to follow him. It was like a movie,” Silva said.
She alerted an officer working a police detail on Chatham Street and police stopped Edwin Bravo on Tracy Avenue with the right front tire missing from the Malibu. Police charged Bravo, 28, of Adams Street, with unlicensed operation and four counts of leaving the scene of property damage. He is expected to be arraigned Tuesday in Lynn District Court.
