A man runs over and injures an Albany police officer while fleeing a traffic stop

PORTLAND, Ore. (KPTV) – An Albany police officer was seriously injured after being run over by a fleeing man, the Albany Police Department (APD) said.

Around 2 a.m. Wednesday, two officers stopped a man who refused to identify himself. The officers attempted to arrest the man because he did not have or produce a driver’s license.

According to the APD, the man resisted arrest and drove away, dragging Officer Melissa Unrau with him before running her over and leaving her on the road.
