Two detectives were hit by cars Thursday morning in Dundalk when they tried to stop two people suspected in a drug deal, police said.
The undercover detectives saw an alleged drug deal between someone in white car and someone in a gray car about 11:30 a.m. near Aldworth and Edworth roads.
The white car drove away, hitting an unmarked Baltimore County police car and a detective beside the car, police said.
That detective was hospitalized at University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center with injuries that were not life-threatening. Baltimore City police found the car and arrested the driver on an unrelated charge, police said. They did not identify the driver.
The gray car drove off and hit a curb. Then the driver got out and ran. He was picked up by a woman in another car, which hit the second detective who was on foot and trying to stop them, police said.
The second detective suffered minor injuries; he was not hospitalized.
That car was later found in the city. The man and woman were arrested, police said. Officers did not release their names.
