Brown was leaving the scene in a car when officers arrived and wouldn't pull over when they tried to stop him.
He drove onto the lawn of a home on Commons Avenue, sped around a police car and drove back to the scene on Amhurst. He then fled from the car on foot but police later found him hiding in a neighbor's closet.
The victim told police Brown choked and punched her and also assaulted her sister.
