NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — Police are searching for a man who injured a police officer by speeding off during a traffic stop in the Bronx last week.
Officers had pulled over a Mercedes Benz with Pennsylvania plates that had blown through a red light at the corner of East 173 Street and Clay Avenue in Claremont on Jan. 24 around 5:10 p.m., according to officials.
The driver drove away as one of the officers approached his car, injuring the cop’s knee, hands and back.
The man also hit five vehicles as he fled — two occupied parked vehicles and three unoccupied.
Police found the car abandoned soon after the incident.
The injured officer was taken to the NewYork-Presbyterian Columbia University Irving Medical Center for treatment and has since been released.
