Residents in the area of Carteret Street and Cleveland Terrace were awakened by the hovering sounds of NPD 1 (helicopter) that circled the skies of Bloomfield after suspects occupying a vehicle that refused to stop for police after reportedly attempting to strike officers with their vehicle early this morning.
Newark Police followed the suspects (who were occupying a Honda Accord) into Bloomfield shortly before 4 a.m. after they attempted to run over officers in Newark.
The chase briefly touched onto the Garden State Parkway and a portion of East Orange before the suspect's vehicle slammed into a tree in the area of Cleveland Terrace and Carteret Street.
Officers quickly apprehended at least two suspects who required medical assistance for unknown injuries.
An investigation is underway.
