When officers tried to approach the vehicle, the driver then drove away and hit bystanders, parked vehicles, and two officers before crashing.

Police said the officers and other people who were hit were treated for minor injuries.

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...
