An alleged DUI driver was arrested early Thursday after he allegedly crashed into a police patrol car in downtown Los Angeles while riding a moped. 

It happened a little after midnight near Hill Street and 12th Street in the South Park area, according to Los Angeles Police Department officers. 

They say that the suspect, a man whom they haven't publicly identified, crashed into the open door of their cruiser while they were conducting a traffic stop on a different vehicle in the area.
