A 12-year-old boy remained in critical condition at an area hospital Friday evening after being struck by a police cruiser in Hampden a day earlier, Baltimore police said.
The incident occurred at 4:15 p.m. Thursday in the 3800 block of Falls Road. A Baltimore police officer driving a cruiser was headed south to a call two blocks away without the car's lights or sirens on, according to police. Officers said the boy walked in front of the vehicle, when he was struck.
Police said the boy was hit while crossing the street to join a group of people walking on the sidewalk.
Neither the officer nor the boy have been identified. Police said they continue to investigate.
