Two Denver Police officers were hospitalized during a pursuit of a large tractor near City Park in Denver Friday night.

Police said they have a suspect in custody near the intersection of 15th and Market Street in LoDo. 

Denver Police tweeted that the man was wanted for a "single-vehicle, no injury crash."  It’s not clear when the officers were injured.

Video of the chase shows at least 10 DPD cars in pursuit of the tractor, which weaved onto sidewalks and through intersections.

Our reporting partner 9News in Denver said DPD dispatch said the tractor headed south on York Street, then down east 23rd Avenue toward downtown Denver.

It’s unclear at this time where the chase started.
