Cataldo was arraigned on Friday in Lowell District Court.
The incident is the third one in the past week that involves cars striking passersby. Last Saturday, a Pepperell police cruiser was struck and a sergeant was injured. Police arrested a Chelmsford woman for failing to yield at an intersection. Police say she was also inebriated and charged her with operating under the influence of alcohol.
Just three days later in Billerica, police arrested a Lowell man after he allegedly stuck a police cruiser while intoxicated, sending an officer to the hospital.
