NYPD confirmed that two officers were hurt Saturday afternoon after responding to a report of a stolen vehicle in Concourse Village.<\/p>\n
Citizen video shows police and FDNY firefighters responding to the incident at the intersection of East 149th Street and Grand Concourse.<\/p>\n
Officials say that two officers responded to a report of a stolen car when the driver of that car reversed, hitting one officer in the hand, and then a police car that had an officer inside.<\/p>\n
A driver told News 12 that he was side-swiped by a blue sedan a short distance away on Exterior Street.<\/p>\n
The witness said that the driver ran from the scene, leaving behind the sedan in the street and another man in its passenger seat.<\/p>\n
“The passenger tried to get out but couldn’t because he was pinned up against another car that was there previously. And the driver did get out and he ran. I don’t know if they caught him or not,” the witness told News 12.<\/p>\n
NYPD had not confirmed as of Saturday night if both incidents just minutes away from each other were connected. <\/p>\n
NYPD told News 12 on Saturday night the officers hurt were in stable condition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NYPD confirmed that two officers were hurt Saturday afternoon after responding to a report of a stolen vehicle…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":63141,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[128,303,9,24,63,33351,129,131,130],"class_list":["post-63140","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-the-bronx","tag-bronx","tag-crime","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-officer-injured","tag-the-bronx","tag-the-bronx-headlines","tag-the-bronx-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63140","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=63140"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63140\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/63141"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=63140"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=63140"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=63140"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
