Dallas police are investigating after an officer and a teen were struck by a vehicle Monday afternoon in Dallas.[[364155351,L]]

It happened at about 2:15 p.m. at the Las Lomas Apartments in the 200 block of Stoneport Drive.

Witnesses said a group of teenagers had been fighting in the area. When an officer arrived on the scene, someone got into a car, then slammed into a teenage boy and the officer with the vehicle.

"It was at that point that other suspects who were involved in the disturbance got into a nearby vehicle and drove directly at the officer and the juvenile. That vehicle struck both the officer and the juvenile," said Dallas Police Department spokesman Maj. Max Geron.

The injured teenager was transported to Children's Medical Center Dallas. The teen's condition is unknown at this time.

The officer โ€“ who not only was hit, but also dragged by the vehicle for a short time โ€“ was transported to a hospital, where he was treated and later released Monday evening.

Officers located a vehicle possibly related to the original offense nearby, Geron said.

"We've detained a few individuals, we've not identified them as suspects. We've taken a number of witnesses down to talk to us at headquarters, so we'll process that try and identify the individuals involved," Geron said.
