Police chase
DALLAS — Dallas police say a fleeing vehicle struck and wounded a police officer Thursday evening, leading to a brief pursuit.
The chase started around 6 p.m. at the Carlisle Apartments in the 5700 block of East University Boulevard as police responded to a burglary in progress call.
One of two officers was hit as a red Honda sedan with three suspects sped away.
Dallas and Highland Park officers chased the car as it went through stop signs at a high rate of speed — until the suspects drove up on a sidewalk, hit at least one tree and bailed out at Mockingbird Lane and the Dallas North Tollway.
They were captured following a brief foot pursuit.
The injured officer was treated at the scene for what were described as minor scrapes and bruises.
