A 15-year-old is under arrest after he used a stolen car to ram two patrol vehicles in East Hartford Tuesday night — and then stole one of them. The teen fled cops in car chases and foot pursuits before being apprehended, police said.
Two officers were injured, one with what may be a broken wrist, Lt. John Dupont said. Two juveniles who were with the teen got away.
The 15-year-old boy, a juvenile, was held after his arrest because of a “take into custody order,” Dupont said.
The series of violent events started during the evening shift when an officer spotted a stolen car on Park Avenue.
