SAN ANTONIO — Two suspects were detained after allegedly ramming a stolen car into a patrol unit and injuring an officer, SAPD said.
It happened on the east side Sunday afternoon. Police said their drone was in the air looking for a suspicious vehicle when it picked up a vehicle that had been reported stolen. Officers in the area followed the car from a distance until it parked in the lot of the Studio Suites hotel near I-10 and 410.
Police said officers turned into the parking lot, and that’s when the suspects rammed the patrol car head-on.
The officer in the patrol vehicle was taken to the hospital, reportedly complaining of aches and pains.
Police said three people were in the suspect vehicle. An investigation is underway.
