A wild police chase Tuesday night through east Travis County ended with an 18-year-old facing multiple felony charges.

Witnesses shared this video, saying it started near Walter E. Long lake.

Austin Police arrested Ricardo Gonzalez-Duran.

Court records say he assaulted a friend at their East Austin home with a bottle of liquor before fleeing in a vehicle. The victim called 911, and Gonzalez's vehicle was located nearby -- that's when the pursuit began.

The arrest affidavit said during the chase Gonzalez sideswiped an ambulance with his vehicle. He eventually wrecked near the intersection of FM 969 and Decker Lane.

Online Travis County Jail records show Gonzalez is charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, evading arrest, accident involving damage to vehicle, and driving while intoxicated.

His combined bond is $95,000.
