FOURTH OFFICER ON BICYCLE HIT BY DRIVER IN ONE WEEK
A Milwaukee police officer on bicycle patrol was struck Thursday night by a hit-and-run driver. According to reports, the officer was injured when he was struck near Milwaukee’s west side by a hit-and-run driver just before 9 p.m. The officer had been making a traffic stop in the 1500 block of W. Vliet Street.
The suspected hit-and-run driver was stopped shortly after 9 p.m.and arrested and the officer was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The officer is the fourth Milwaukee bicycle officer struck in the past week.
