At that location the suspect apparently pushed one of the officers, causing him to fall before fleeing the scene. The officer sustained a potentially serious head injury as a result and was taken to King Edward VII Memorial Hospital via ambulance for treatment where doctors continue to assess his injury.”Anyone with information is asked to contact the Hamilton Criminal Investigation Unit on 295-0011 or the independent, confidential Crime Stoppers Bermuda hotline on 800-8477.
