GLENARDEN, Md. — Two Prince George’s County police cruisers were intentionally crushed by a man driving a dump truck Wednesday.
WTOP reports no officers were injured in the rampage. The officers had parked the cruisers in order to refill their fluids.

The driver reportedly drove up to the officers and began yelling at them.
“The dump truck then drives away, and then a very short time later he has circled around the parking lot and purposely – we believe – drives into the two police cruisers, the officers standing nearby. Thankfully they were not in their cruisers at the time. Thankfully they were not hurt,” Lt. Bill Alexander told WTOP.
The 31-year-old driver was taken into custody without further incident, NBC Washington reported.
