Officers Injured in Separate Vehicle Assaults

Police officers in two cities were injured in separate incidents involving suspects fleeing in vehicles. In Bedford, New Hampshire, two officers were struck by DUI suspect Brandon Legere as he attempted to flee a hotel parking lot, also hitting two police cruisers; both officers were treated and released from the hospital. Legere was arrested and charged with multiple felonies, and a female passenger was arrested on outstanding warrants and drug charges. In St. Paul, Minnesota, three officers suffered minor injuries after being struck by a driver who fled a traffic stop, abandoned his vehicle, and was apprehended following a foot chase. The St. Paul suspect is being held on suspicion of aggravated assault, fleeing police, and criminal vehicular operation, with charges pending. Both incidents remain under investigation, highlighting risks officers face during patrols and traffic stops.
