Federal officers shot a man in the elbow after he rammed his car into law enforcement vehicles while trying to evade arrest Tuesday morning in Los Angeles, authorities said.
A deputy U.S. Marshal assisting with the arrest was hit in the hand with a ricochet bullet, authorities said.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents fired “defensive shots” as the man rammed into their vehicles, Homeland Security Department Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement.

Sure.
During the traffic stop Tuesday, authorities boxed Parias in with their vehicles as they tried to arrest him, Essayli said. Parias then rammed into the vehicles in front of and behind him. An agent attempted to break the driver’s side window of the car, but that did not subdue Parias, Essayli said.
He was boxed in, remember? That's a good way toward being "subdued".
“Vehicles are deadly weapons. Anyone who uses them against federal agents risks arrest, imprisonment, and life-threatening injuries,” Essayli wrote.
I see.
ICE tracks attacks against its officers and has blamed activists for an increase in attacks, saying their rhetoric encourages people the agency is pursuing to resist arrest.
According to data provided by the agency, there were 172 reported assaults between Jan. 21 and Oct. 1 of this year. That’s compared to 15 reported assaults during the same period last year.
One of Trump's TV goons claimed assaults had gone up 1,000%! They're not good at math. Also, reported assaults and actual assaults are not the same. I caution you to investigate reported assaults.
