Summary

Four police officers have been reported injured following a collision involving at least one NYPD cruiser in Flatlands.

At 11:24 a.m., police requested ambulance for a collision with injuries at Schenectady Avenue and Avenue J.

An officer at the scene confirmed over radios that four officers were injured, including one officer with "more severe" injuries to his neck and back. However, that officer was reportedly conscious and alert.

A Citizen user provided a view of the scene, showing that a police cruiser had apparently run aground of the sidewalk and crashed into the side of a laundromat. The store gate appeared to have been knocked off of its mount and hanging down over the vehicle.

An NYPD spokesperson could not confirm the latest condition of the officers or any other details about the collision.

Shortly before the collision, officers were responding to a foot pursuit at 1965 Troy Ave, but police have not confirmed if the injured officers were en route to that incident.
