COBB COUNTY, Ga. — Police in Cobb County are searching for two suspects after an officer was injured during a police chase Wednesday morning. 

The chase happened around 2:30 a.m. when officers received several reports of possible car break-ins near the Vining's RiverVue Apartments, which is off River Parkway. 

When officers arrived at the complex, they spotted two suspects trying to drive out the complex gate. The driver then hit two patrol cars and sped out of the apartment onto Cobb Parkway, which is where the chase began. 

An officer was able to stop the car using a pit maneuver on Cumberland Boulevard. Two suspects were caught after running from police, but officers are still searching for two others. 

Cobb County Police said one officer hurt his knee trying to attempt a "box-in" at the complex's gate. He was taken to a hospital and later released, according to the Cobb County Police Department.
