A Lowell man was charged with assault Wednesday following a car chase with Chelmsford police that ended when he crashed his truck in Billerica.

Visitaction Rolan, 56, has been charged with two counts of assault with a dangerous weapon.

Chelmsford police said in a news release that around 12:30 p.m. Wednesday, they got a call about a disturbance on Drum Hill Road. After an initial investigation, police determined that a man had flashed a knife and pointed a handgun at another driver before driving off in a black pickup truck.

Police said they chased the Rolon through Chelmsford and Lowell. They said the chase ended when Rolon crashed his truck in Billerica.

Rolon is set to be arraigned in Lowell District Court on Thursday.
