CHICAGO (CBS) -- A car crashed into a Chicago police cruiser early Friday morning in Lincoln Park while officers were responding to a liquor store burglary.

Police said, around 3:30 a.m., officers responded to a break-in at Lakeside Food Wine & Spirits on the corner of Halsted and Wrightwood.

Three people had removed the front door to get inside, but police showed up before they could get in.

As officers arrived, a gray Infiniti sedan crashed into the squad car, while officers were still inside. The Infiniti then drove off, as did a second car, possibly a Jeep.

One of the burglary suspects tried to run away, but police arrested them.

No one was injured in the crash.

Charges were pending Friday against the one person in custody.
