On June 2ND, 2022, at about 2:30am, New Rochelle Detectives observed a Toyota Highlander with no license plates driving through a neighborhood on the southwest side of the city.

When Detectives pulled behind the suspect vehicle in an unmarked police car and attempted to pull the vehicle over, the suspects put their vehicle in reverse, and rammed the police car, injuring the two officers inside. The Detectives then apprehended the suspects and placed all 4 occupants under arrest. The vehicle was confirmed to be stolen out of New Jersey.
