A Denver Police officer was bitten by a suspect after a chase Thursday night ended in a crash near Leetsdale Drive and Quebec Street, police said.

The suspect was seriously injured in the crash and was transported to a hospital.

Police spokesman Sonny Jackson said the pursuit started about 8:30 p.m. at East Evans Avenue and Oneida Street after an officer spotted a stolen car that had possibly been linked to a bank robbery. After a short, high-speed chase, the car crashed into a retaining wall just past Quebec Street in Arapahoe County.

Police moved in quickly, thinking the suspect might be armed, and one officer was bitten.
