A Toledo police officer was pinned against his cruiser by a driver whose car he and a partner had been trying to stop for allegedly hitting a pedestrian on Detroit Avenue on Saturday afternoon.

Jeffrey Taylor, 53, of 1543 Buckingham St. was then shot several times by police and was in surgery at Mercy St. Vincent Medical Center.

He was expected to be charged with three counts of felonious assault, police said.

The incident with police occurred at Ferris Avenue and Oakland Street in North Toledo, where Mr. Taylor had struck a second pedestrian while fleeing police from the first scene at Detroit and Prospect avenues, police said.

The police officer was taken to Mercy St. Vincent Medical Center for treatment, and Mr. Taylor was also taken from the scene in an ambulance. The officer and both pedestrians are expected to recover, Chief George Kral said.

Chief Kral declined to name the officers but said they have been with the department for about three and a half years.

The incident began with a 4:57 p.m. 911 call that Shawuaghn Hughes, 22, had been struck by a car at Detroit and Prospect. Mr. Taylor did not know the woman, police said.

“This was not an accident. He intentionally hit this woman,” Chief Kral said.

Shortly thereafter, a police patrol observed a vehicle described in that call, attempted to stop it, and then pursued when the driver refused to stop, police said.

At 5:05 p.m., police observed the suspect vehicle strike John Burchell, 58, near Oakland and Ferris, then stop.

Officers got out of their car to order the driver out of his vehicle when he sped toward the officers, pinning one of them against his cruiser, a news release said. Police said both officers then fired at the suspect “in self-defense,” striking him several times.

Toledo’s recent police shootings include the Sept. 29, 2013, wounding of a man with a gun who was the subject of a woman’s 911 call.

Stephen Hall, 53, was shot once in the thigh.

The last fatal shooting by Toledo police occurred May 23 of that year when officers shot Thomas Bean, 43, multiple times as he stood over a woman in the 1000 block of Page Street.

Officers said that Bean was pointing a 12-gauge shotgun at the woman’s face, then turned it toward them after they told him to drop the weapon, drawing their fire.

The shotgun proved to be unloaded, although police reported finding shotgun shells in his house afterward.

Before that, on Sept. 28, 2012, Darrell Parnell, 19, was fatally shot once in the chest after he tried to take a police officer’s gun during a struggle.

Parnell had already taken the officer’s baton and struck him with it several times.

The police department’s firearms review board found all three of those shootings to be justified.
