MINNEAPOLIS, MN --A Plymouth police officer suffered minor

injuries during a chase that ended when a stolen car crashed in

south Minneapolis.

The chase started around 2 p.m. on Sunday in Plymouth and reached speeds

of up to 100 miles an hour.

The stolen SUV careened the wrong way into one-way traffic on

Park Avenue in south Minneapolis, tearing up residents' yards for a

block before it was rammed by Plymouth squad cars.

Both the officer and a passenger in the suspect car were taken

to North Memorial Medical Center in Robbinsdale for minor injuries.

Nobody else was hurt. A Plymouth police car was damaged during the

pursuit.

As the suspect was being placed in a squad car, he claimed he

was innocent and the victim of police brutality.
