Early this morning, a @gardengrovepd officer was critically injured after being struck by a vehicle during a foot pursuit of a suspect following an assault call in the neighborhood near Stanford Ave & Brookhurst St. The officer was rushed to the hospital and remains in critical condition. The suspect, reported to have been armed, ignored commands and fled on foot, prompting officers to chase him when the collision occurred. 
Authorities say the driver who hit the officer stayed at the scene and is cooperating with police, and the suspect has since been taken into custody. We’re keeping the officer, their family, colleagues, and the community in our thoughts during this difficult time. ... See MoreSee Less
