Suspect Rams Two Florida Officers With Car, Leaving Lieutenant With Brain Injury

Bradenton, United States – A suspect rammed two Florida police officers with his car as he reversed at high speed outside a Wawa store, leaving a lieutenant with a traumatic brain injury, police said.

Body camera footage released by Bradenton Police Department shows Lieutenant Perry Merrill approaching a silver car in the store's forecourt in the early hours of Sunday, November 8. The camera lurches and goes dark as the vehicle moves, and an on-screen caption later says Merrill sustained a traumatic brain injury when he was hit and is recovering.
