Cyclist hit by police cruiser in Little Italy

A cyclist is in hospital after he was hit by a police cruiser in Little Italy.

It happened on Saturday, just after midnight, at College and Shaw streets.

Police said in a tweet that the cyclist, a man in his 20s, was headed west on College when he got his wheel caught in the streetcar tracks and swerved into oncoming traffic.

Crews freed the cyclist, who had become pinned under the car, and took him to a hospital with minor injuries.

A bystander named Stephn said he helped police put the cruiser on the jack.

“[The officer] was, I guess, in shock. So I just helped him out,” Stephn said

“[The victim] seemed like he was in a lot of pain. He was screaming.”
