BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) — Two people were arrested after two Buffalo police officers were injured in an incident near Schiller Park early Thursday morning, according to city officials. Around 12 a.m., officers say they responded to Blake Street for a trespassing call. There, they found a male and a female in the back of a vehicle parked in the driveway. When they were commanded to unlock their doors, the male allegedly jumped into the driver's seat and attempted to flee.
