Two police injured in Adelaide pursuit

Two police officers have been injured after a dramatic car chase through central Adelaide.

A stolen white Hyundai was reversed into a police vehicle after crashing into another vehicle in the city's centre on Friday night.

Police pursued the Hyundai but abandoned the chase, only to find the car a short time later.

Two officers were then struck by the car as they tried to arrest the driver.

They arrested two 14-year-old passengers, but the driver fled through a nearby park.

The officers were taken to the Royal Adelaide Hospital with minor injuries.

The youths were charged with theft and aggravated serious criminal trespass in relation to a break-in at Woodville.

They were refused bail and will appear in the Adelaide Youth Court on Monday.
