Four Philadelphia police officers were injured Tuesday afternoon after a man turned his car on them, officials said.
Police told WTXF-TV that a man hit them with his car just before 2:30 p.m. Other officers pursued the suspect, who hit several other cars as he fled.
Several shots were fired by police.
WTXF reported the officers first approached the suspect's car after he crashed it into a wall. The suspect allegedly battled the officers as they tried to get him out but the suspect climbed back in and struck the officers.
