A burglary suspect who ran into two Chicago police officers over the weekend in Streeterville was still at large Wednesday morning.

Officers stopped a black sedan about 7:45 a.m. Saturday in the 800 block of North DuSable Lake Shore Drive that matched the description of a vehicle used in a burglary minutes earlier in the Gold Coast, police said.

As officers took the driver into custody, the passenger moved into the driver’s seat, sped away and struck two officers, officials said.

The two officers were treated for their injuries and released from a hospital, authorities said.

The original driver, Darius Carter, 32, was charged with attempted theft and unauthorized control of property not exceeding $500 in value, police said.

Carter and the passenger allegedly damaged the passenger side of a vehicle in the 1500 block of North State Parkway and fled when they couldn’t get into the vehicle, officials said.
