The incident started at 2:22 p.m. Thursday while a detective in an unmarked vehicle saw a suspicious vehicle near Guthrie and River roads.
The vehicle had been reported stolen.
As the detective followed the vehicle, a person inside it shot at the detective, Dayton police Chief Kamran Afzal said Thursday.
The detective was not injured.
Uniformed patrol officers began pursuing the vehicle. During the chase, a marked police cruiser hit a pedestrian near Germantown Street and South Euclid Avenue.
The pedestrian had non-life-threatening injuries, Afzal said. They have been treated and released from the hospital as of Friday afternoon.
Police found the stolen vehicle outside a house in the 1700 block of South Gettysburg Avenue and arrested a juvenile.
They requested SWAT due to concerns additional people were inside the house, according police.
SWAT and Hostage Negotiation Team crews responded. Police blocked off part of South Gettysburg Avenue and asked the public to avoid the area as the investigation continued.
Just before 7 p.m. Thursday police posted on social media that police activity in the area had ended.
