An NYPD sergeant was struck by a stolen vehicle during a chase that crossed borough lines Sunday evening, before another officer opened fire on a suspect, according to law enforcement sources.
The incident unfolded just before 6 p.m. on East Fordham Road in the Bronx, where authorities said the sergeant was hit by the stolen car.
Police had been tracking the vehicle from Manhattan into the Bronx and were attempting to stop it when the collision occurred, sources said. The impact sent the officer flying.
After the sergeant was struck, another officer drew a firearm and shot a suspect, the sources said. It was not immediately clear whether more than one person had been inside the vehicle.
The injured sergeant suffered injuries that were not considered life-threatening, though further details about his condition were not immediately available. A second officer was also brought to a hospital with injuries connected to tinnitus.

The alleged carjacker was taken to Jacobi Hospital. His condition has not yet been released.
In a post on X, the NYPD advised the public to steer clear of East Fordham Road between Marion Avenue and Decatur Avenue, warning of “delays and heavy traffic in the area.”
The circumstances surrounding the incident remain under investigation.
