Alleged Cop-Car Rammer Caught

A man who allegedly rammed head-on into a police car ended up in handcuffs.

The suspect, who’s 23, had fled from police during an earlier investigation at the Farnam Court housing projects, Mayorga said. Thursday evening, cops caught up to him by staking out his car. The suspect jumped in the car and rammed it into an unmarked cop car as he tried to escape. Cops caught up with the suspect and arrested him for a litany of charges, including possession of a gun and narcotics. Both officers in the cop car were treated for minor injuries at a hospital and released.

Teen Shot 3 Times

A 19-year-old staggered into a liquor store for help after he was shot three times by a gunman on a bike.

The incident happened at about 6:50 p.m. Thursday, according to police spokesman Officer Joe Avery. Police found the victim at Dixwell Avenue and Bassett Street.

Police believe the boy was shot at Dixwell and Willis Street, then ran a block away for help. His gunshot wounds, one in the stomach and two in the arm, did not appear to be life-threatening. The trigger-man fled on a bicycle.
