MERIDEN, Conn. Two men are in custody following an incident that left multiple police officers injured Monday afternoon.
Police say officers approached a car matching the description of a suspected vehicle and it rammed twice into two Meriden PD cruisers and an undercover car.
One officer was pinned between the open car door and the frame of the vehicle, officials said.
It was determined the driver, later identified as 25-year-old Luis Camacho, was slamming the police vehicles intentionally to create enough room to flee the scene.
As the suspects fled, a Meriden officer deployed stop sticks, popping three tires. However, they were still able to drive away.
