Two cops were injured Wednesday night after their patrol car crashed as they responded to a report of shots fired in Bushwick, Brooklyn, police said.
The officers were rushed to a nearby hospital and were “alert” and in stable condition, police said. Two suspects were arrested at the scene, where a weapon was also recovered, police said.
The call came in just before 11 p.m. of shots fired near Ralph Avenue and MacDonough Street.
Early Thursday, a police car was still crashed against the exterior wall of a bodega at the northwest corner of the intersection. Two other police vehicles, both unmarked, were also involved, according to eyewitnesses.
One eyewitness told The Post that the injured officers had to be extricated from their police car.
“It sounded like a big bang, like, ‘Boom!’” said witness Rose Cameron. “They looked hurt,” she said of the two injured cops. “One had blood on his face.”
