One officer was injured during the arrest and was taken to an area hospital for an evaluation.
Knight initially refused medical attention at the scene but later requested an ambulance while at a police station. She was taken to a hospital for an evaluation.
Knight was charged with assault, resisting arrest, criminal contempt, criminal mischief and obstructing governmental administration. Police said she'll be arraigned when medically practical.
Police didn't immediately identify the driver or say what charges he may face.
