Wisconsin cops injured after DUI suspect barrels into crowd starting police chase

Four Green Bay police officers were injured early Saturday after a vehicle drove toward a group of people and officers in Wisconsin, authorities said.

Green Bay Police Department officers were called to a disturbance involving a food truck at approximately 2:15 a.m. local time. As officers worked to take several people into custody, a car moved toward bystanders and police. One officer fired a weapon during the incident.

The driver sped away, triggering a brief police pursuit. Officers ended the chase by using a PIT maneuver, a tactical technique designed to force a fleeing vehicle to stop.

Police took the driver into custody without further incident. The person is suspected of operating a vehicle while intoxicated.

All four officers sustained non-life-threatening injuries and were treated by medical personnel.

Authorities said no one was injured by the gunfire.

At a later news conference, Green Bay Police Chief Chris Davis said investigators had not determined whether the driver was connected to the disturbance at the food truck.
