Overview
- The episode unfolded just before 6 p.m. Sunday on East Fordham Road between Marion and Decatur Avenues when officers tried to stop a reported stolen vehicle.
- An NYPD sergeant was struck by the fleeing car and taken to a hospital with injuries that police say are not life-threatening and are expected to allow him to survive.
- After the sergeant was hit, a fellow officer fired at the driver and the suspect was transported to a hospital; reports conflict about which facility received him and whether his condition is critical or unknown.
- Police set a perimeter along Fordham Road, asked the public to avoid the area, and have opened an active investigation while evidence is collected at the sealed scene.
- Reporting relies on unnamed law enforcement sources and scene accounts, leaving key details unconfirmed such as the number of people in the vehicle and the precise sequence of events that led to the sergeant being struck.
