Bayonne police responding to a report of theft from a gas station on 53rd Street near Avenue E around 6:45 a.m., found a suspect in the parking lot of Burger King on Broadway and 54th, Hudson County Prosecutor Esther Suarez said.

The suspect fled the scene in his vehicle, striking two police vehicles and an unoccupied civilian vehicle, Suarez said.

An officer discharged his weapon. The suspect was located soon after at Linden Avenue and Scott Street in Jersey City with apparent gunshot wounds, Suarez said. He was taken to Jersey City Medical Center with injuries that do not appear to be life-threatening, Suarez said.

The Hudson County Prosecutor's Office is continuing to investigate, Suarez said.
