Philadelphia police are looking for the driver of a car that ran over three police bicycles as officers jumped out of the way early Monday in Juniata Park.
The officers were at the scene of the arrest of a carjacker at I Street and Erie Avenue about 2:30 a.m. when a black sedan, possibly a Nissan Altima, with tinted windows bore down on them at high speed, police said.
The officers jumped out of the way and the car ran over their bicycles before speeding off, police said.
Police said the driver's actions appeared to have been deliberate.
Investigators are looking for surveillance video in the area that might help them track down the car and its driver. The vehicle may have been damaged or scratched when it ran over the bicycles, police said.
