Two men were arrested Saturday and charged with Drug Trafficking after hitting a police cruiser during a chase in South Portland.

The South Portland Police Department said 21-year-old Hamza A. Mahamud from Roxbury, MA and 33-year-old Gerald A. Daughtry from Roslindale, MA were taken into custody around 1:30 am.
