A police officer was injured during the arrest of an out-of-control driver on the Florida International University campus on graduation day Tuesday, authorities said.
FIU officials said the campus police department received a call reporting a man driving erratically through the FIU parking lot.
Police stopped and arrested the man, and one officer was injured during the process.
Witnesses said the driver of the car put up a fight even after he was arrested.
“After they got him down, he put his head through one of the cop cars’ windows and got out again,” said Benjamin Rivera.
Both the officer and the suspect were in stable condition when they were taken to a hospital.
