Police are searching for the driver involved in the incident.
Witnesses told ABC11 Durham Police officers were already in the area patrolling before things got out of hand.
"So I saw this man. He revved his engine. He had, like, a charger or something. So it was really loud,' said Kori Lewis. "The policeman came up to him and was like, give me your I.D. now..now... The man kind of froze. He reversed and swung the car around, hitting the police officer. The woman police officer, because she was on the passenger side of the car."
