PORTLAND — A Portland police officer is injured after being struck by a truck while responding to reports of a stolen vehicle Thursday night.
KOIN reported that during the incident “an officer was involved in a shooting” but police did not clarify when the gunfire happened.
A video of the incident, taken by a witness and shared with KOIN, shows a large pickup truck ramming and pushing a PPB patrol car out of the way at a gas station and fleeing down SE Cesar Chavez Boulevard.
One witness told KOIN that he was sitting in his car at a stoplight near the gas station when he saw a man in a truck near the pumps with two police cars pulling in behind him. He then saw the man in the truck lean out backward toward the officers and heard two shots.
