Miami, FL (May 23, 2019) - A Miami police officer suffered injuries after he was struck by a vehicle while trying to make a traffic stop. The incident took place near Marlins Park on Thursday, May 23rd.
According to reports, the officer spotted a suspicious vehicle and began an investigation. After running the tag, the officer determined that the vehicle had been stolen. As the officer attempted to apprehend the suspect, the driver accelerated towards him and struck him. The officer was taken to the Ryder Trauma Center at Jackson Memorial Hospital, where his injuries were reported as non-life-threatening.
Police later found the vehicle abandoned near Northwest 14th Avenue and Third Street. The suspect is still at large and no further information is available.
