A driver is accused of hitting a motorcycle, dragging it 150 feet and causing it to burst into flames Tuesday night in the Mid City area.
At 7:45 p.m., San Diego police found a charred motorcycle and vehicle in the 3400 block of Mina Street.
Piecing together the confusing scene, police say there was some type of incident at another scene, which prompted a driver to start pursuing a motorcyclist.
When the car caught up to it, investigators believe the driver intentionally hit the bike and dragged it 150 feet down Chollas Parkway. At the end of the crash site, the motorcycle burst into flames.
The car's driver and passenger took off, and the motorcyclist was left with minor injuries, investigators say.
Officers found the male driver and his female passenger several blocks away and took them into custody. The man was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, which would be the car.
A gun was recovered at the scene, but officers do not believe it was used in the crime.
