Two police officers have been critically injured after a man “ambushed” them with his car when he accelerated as he got close to them and deliberately ran them over, police said.
The attack occurred early Thursday morning just after 8:00 a.m. in the suburbs of Tampa Bay, Florida, outside of a home in Brandon -- located some 11 miles east of the downtown area -- when the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office Communications Center received a call from “a woman stating that she was in fear of her son, who was behaving violently at their home,” according to a statement from the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office
