• Three D.C. police officers and pedestrian were injured Tuesday night while police were responding to reports of a large, unruly crowd in the 4400 block of Ponds Street NE. A police cruiser swerved to avoid striking a pedestrian and instead struck a trash bin. Two officers and pedestrian were injured by the bin, and a third officer was injured trying to arrest a combative prisoner. None of the injuries were life threatening. [NBC4]
