According to the driver’s report, Vargas "jumped from the back seat of the van into the front seat," and that his "left leg hit [the driver] in the head." The driver also claimed Vargas grabbed him by the shirt collar and "possibly damaged" his laptop computer.
The police officer who took the report said the driver was uninjured, and his laptop was not damaged, according to the document.
Vargas’ report claimed he asked the driver to stop several times but that he instead continued to the police station.
When the driver did stop, according to Vargas’ police report, he drove away quickly, causing Vargas to "hit his head on the ground." Vargas said he had a headache and was advised to seek medical attention by the officer, the report said.
