"We have certain crimes that are committed and these individuals are willing to take aggressive acts towards law enforcement by ramming their stolen vehicles into patrol cars, endangering the lives of our police officers," Doral Police Chief Edwin Lopez said. "We have to take that very seriously."
Records showed the car, a Hyundai Tucson, had been stolen on Tuesday.
