An officer attempted to stop him, but the teen took off running and the officer chased him on foot. Body camera footage shows the officer asking for backup, and dashcam footage shows another officer responding to the scene. The dashcam video released Friday shows the officer’s car veer across a lane, hitting the boy on the sidewalk. The vehicle comes to a stop in the front yard of a home.
WARNING: The following video contains graphic language.
Investigators said the collision was the result of the officer losing control of the vehicle during the pursuit and turning less sharply than intended.
Sgt. Vance Chandler said the officer driving the car has undergone additional training. The teen’s injuries were not life-threatening.
