JUST IN: A car thief, and others, attempted to run over a Lakewood Police Officer moments ago, sources tell TLS.
The incident unfolded a short time after 9 p.m. when police received a call about a vehicle stolen from River Avenue.
A short time later, a Lakewood Police Officer spotted the vehicle in the area of New Hampshire Avenue and Chestnut Street, and the suspect running from it into another vehicle with two other occupants inside, sources say.
While attempting to escape, the three men then allegedly attempted to run over the police officer who attempted to question them.
The vehicle, described as a white Mercedes, fled the area, leaving the stolen vehicle behind.
Neighboring townships were notified of the incident and searching for the suspects.

This is outa hand!!!! Hope the officer is ok and isn’t scarred from stopping perps in the future. These cops put their life on the line for us citizens! How can we take them for granted?
Try to imagine what it is like in Israel now where EVERY citizen is a target for being run over by fanatic Islamic extremist terrorists…..
כסדום היינו לעמורה דמינו
Well this isn’t Israel so try to stay on topic. Hopefully they catch them.
Prayers going out to the officer involved. We have family and friends on LPD. God bless all of you for protecting us.
