MGN

PHOENIX (AP) — Phoenix police have arrested a man accused of opening fire on two officers.

Authorities did not identify the suspect Sunday but confirmed he was booked on attempted homicide charges.

The shooting happened around 1 a.m. as the two officers were riding together to stop a vehicle for traffic violations.

They said someone standing along the road shot at them.

Police say one officer was suffered a non-life-threatening injury to the wrist.

The second was treated for minor injuries from flying glass.

Investigators have since arrested the vehicle’s 18-year-old driver.

Authorities have not said if there is a connection between the two suspects.
