Among those charged is 29-year-old Ovid McKenzie from Evans Street in Clarendon, who was the driver of the motor car. He is charged with dangerous driving.
Twenty-five-year-old David Dwyer from Lincoln Avenue in Clarendon was charged with assaulting a police officer and resisting arrest.
The JCF stated that the third suspect, whose name has not been disclosed, is to be charged following an interview.
