U. Police officers injured during robbery at CVS One officer received a bruised knee, another sprained his foot and a third received "extensive contusions to the leg" during the incident, according to Detective Commander Tom King. The officers were injured while pursuing Philadelphia resident Darryl James as he ran from the 3900 block of Walnut Street to the subway stop at 40th and Market streets. James -- who had allegedly tried to steal eight bottles of liquid soap from the store -- was armed with a pocket knife and syringe needles and dodged around passers-by and a train conductor while trying to evade the police. Although the incident appeared in yesterday's Daily Pennsylvanian, information about the officers' injuries was not available by press time. -- Ian Rosenblum
