Just heard over Elizabeth City scanner that police were forced to turn back after vehicle was struck by objects being thrown by rioters.
"A car allegedly rammed into five police officers after being pulled over in Meriden Monday evening, according to police. Officials said they pulled over the individuals after observing their car matched the description of a vehicle used in a recent shooting. As officers approached the vehicle, the people inside the car allegedly drove into two marked police cruisers and into a third undercover vehicle, officials said. Officers who approached the vehicle on foot were hit as the car proceeded to ram both cruisers and the unmarked car a second time, according to police. The people inside the car fled and officers were able to apprehend them after a brief foot pursuit, they said. Officers saw one man get rid of a weapon, which was later found by a department K-9. Another weapon was also located, police said. Five police officers were injured during the incident and were transported to nearby hospitals with a variety of injuries."
