CHERRY HILL, Md. – Officials say a Baltimore police officer was shot in the hand in the Cherry Hill neighbourhood and a suspect is in custody.

Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh and Police Commissioner Kevin Davis visited the officer who they say is in great spirits.
The mayor said the officer is 30-years-old and has been on the force for some time.
Davis says the shooting followed a struggle with a suspect. The officer was wearing a body camera and captured the shooting on video.
The suspect was taken to a hospital with unknown injuries.
It was not immediately known what charges the suspect faces and if he has an attorney.
