5 Detained After RPD Officer Hit by Stolen Car

Five young people have been detained, after allegedly hitting a Rochester police officer with a stolen car.

Police say it happened just before 5 this morning on South Goodman Street.

The officer is at the hospital but is expected to recover.

The striking of the officer touched off a 20-minute pursuit that ended when the stolen Kia crashed into a home on Emerson Street.

The suspects range in age from 12 to 17.

There's no word on which charges they face.

Nearby roads were closed for a time, but are now open.
