In body-camera video released by the Baltimore Police Department, several officers are seen standing near a police car as a Toyota Rav 4 slams into the cruiser and continues driving.

During a Tuesday press conference, Baltimore Police spokesman T.J. Smith said the police car run-in wasn't the first Pokemon Go incident in Baltimore this week.

He said multiple people had their phones stolen while playing the game in two separate incidents earlier this week.  No one was injured when the Pokemon Go player crashed into the police car, but he said people should be aware that playing the game while driving is dangerous.
