Four teens were arrested by Milwaukee Police Tuesday evening after officers say they led them on a chase in a stolen vehicle. That chase ended in a crash.

The chase started in the area of 6th and Oklahoma around 6:45pm. The chase ended at 20th and Oklahoma when police say the suspects crashed into another car. That vehicle was being driven by a 23-year-old who suffered minor injuries and was taken to the hospital.

Officers say the suspects — a 15-year-old, a 16-year-old and two 17-year-olds — tried to continue fleeing and crashed into a marked squad car. All four were arrested. Officers also found a gun.

A pair of 53-year-old and 54-year-old officers were in the squad car at the time of the crash. Both were taken to the hospital with non-fatal injuries and are expected to recover.

Charges will be reviewed by the Milwaukee County District Attorney's office. Police are still investigating the incident.
