HOLLYWOOD – A police sergeant with the Golden Beach Police Department was injured after being shot overnight Saturday during a pursuit of two suspects in a stolen vehicle, authorities said.

Hollywood Police Department said they received a call for assistance from Golden Beach Police after units with Sunny Isle Police Department and the GBPD were attempting to stop a stolen car around 3:15 a.m. heading north on Ocean Boulevard.

Authorities said as the stolen car attempted to turn onto Hallandale Beach Boulevard when the driver lost control of the car, which prompted the individuals to run on foot.

According to police, responding officers chased the suspects on foot at which time Golden Beach Police Sergeant Joseph Bautista was shot.

According to Hollywood police spokesperson Deanna Bettineschi, Bautista was shot twice in the arm and was taken to Memorial Regional Hospital where his injuries are considered to be non-life threatening.
