Police say one person has been arrested for allegedly shooting at officers Sunday night in downtown Phoenix.

According to police, officers were responding to an unrelated call near 1st and Roosevelt Streets just before 8:30 p.m. on Dec. 11 when they were approached by a man who was believed to be armed with a gun. The man asked the officers a question before walking away.

When the officers tried to find the man to speak with him, he ran away and a foot chase ensued.

"During the foot chase, the man pointed a gun at the officers and fired at least one round in their direction," Sgt. Melissa Soliz said. "The man continued to fire several rounds while running away from officers. It is unclear if all those shots were directed at officers or randomly being fired."

No officers were hurt.

The man was not found, however, evidence of gunfire was found throughout the area.

On Dec. 12, police said one person has been detained. That person was later identified as 30-year-old Anthony Jones.

"He was booked into jail on multiple offenses including aggravated assault on a police officer," read a portion of the statement.
