Suspect Runs Over Fremont Police Detective, Second Suspect

HAYWARD, CA — A Fremont Police detective was injured in the line of duty Wednesday while investigating an occupied, stolen vehicle in the city of Hayward. The detective was transported to the hospital with a moderate injury. One suspect was also taken to the hospital. She is reported to be in stable condition.

According to Fremont Police, detectives tried to stop the stolen vehicle at around 2:10 p.m. "The female suspect driver reversed her vehicle and collided with an unmarked Fremont police car. As this occurred, a female passenger fled from the suspect vehicle and began running. A Fremont detective in a second vehicle got out of his car and gave chase. The suspect vehicle continued to hit the police vehicles and eventually maneuvered her way out by hopping the curb and driving into a grassy area. As she drove into the grassy area, she collided with both the Fremont detective and female suspect he was pursuing on foot. The suspect vehicle then took off and left the scene."

After a short pursuit, an unmarked police vehicle caught up with the suspect in the area of Austin and Huntwood Avenues. Again, the suspect driver collided with an unmarked Fremont police vehicle. The vehicle was stopped and the driver was taken into custody.
