About 5:30 p.m., Grand Central District officers monitored a description over the radio of a vehicle wanted in connection with a burglary in the 6100 block of West Belmont Avenue, and when a sergeant spotted a vehicle fitting the description of a suspect, a pursuit began.
That sergeant, joined by another sergeant, tried to pull the vehicle over in the 5600 block of West Roscoe Street and when the sergeant exited his vehicle, the suspect put the vehicle in reverse and intentionally rammed the assisting sergeant's squad car in an attempt to flee
As the sergeant on foot approached the vehicle, the suspect accelerated forward toward the sergeant twice, the statement said. As a result of this action, and in fear of his life, the sergeant discharged his weapon and struck the driver, who was subsequently placed into custody and transported to an area hospital for his injuries.
