Around 8:00 a.m., officers say they spotted the car at the intersection of West Florissant and Hudson Road in North County. The officers pursued the car until the suspects got out while the Charger was moving in the 1700 block of Foley Drive. The Charger kept going and hit a squad car, police tell News 4. Nobody was injured in the accident.

All four suspects were later taken into custody. An officer injured his shoulder while chasing the suspects on foot, police say.
