COLUMBIA — Police are seeking two men who nearly struck a woman walking her dog after they drove a car through Again Street Park on Thursday morning, according to a Columbia Police Department news release.

According to the news release, at about 10:15 a.m., the car entered the park from Redwood Lane, breaking a chain blocking the entrance to the park. The car drove across the park’s grass and pathways before exiting on Again Street.  Witnesses told police that the men may have been involved in an disturbance near Redwood Lane and Ash Street before driving across the park.
