Dallas Police Officer Has Foot Run Over by Suspected Burglars, Still Makes Arrest: PD

A Dallas police officer had her foot run over while she was trying to stop a trio of suspected burglars -- and still managed to arrest one of them, police said.

It happened a little after midnight Friday at The Arts apartment complex near the intersection of Routh Street and Ross Avenue in Downtown Dallas.

The officer, whose name has not been released, lives at the complex and was off-duty at the time. She was in the parking garage when she saw three people trying to break into a vehicle, police said.

She confronted them -- at which point, two of the people got into a car and drove off, running over her foot in the process, police said.

The third person tried to flee on foot, but the officer chased him down and took him into custody, police said.

Police are still searching for the other suspects.

The officer's injuries aren't serious. She was treated and released at the scene.
