A chase was authorised and the van drove into Old Road, Coggeshall, where the three occupants got out and ran off.
An officer was assaulted while detaining one of the men but was not injured.
Three men were arrested.

They are both due to appear at Chelmsford Magistrates’ Court on July 10.
A 42 year-old man arrested was later released without charge.
