A Denver police officer was injured Tuesday night when his patrol car was rear-ended on Federal Boulevard.
Just before midnight, the officer was stopped on Federal Boulevard near West 23rd Avenue when a car hit the cruiser’s back left side, said Sonny Jackson, spokesman for the Denver Police Department.
The car then continued south in the northbound lanes of Federal Boulevard and at one point drove onto a sidewalk.
Police caught up to the car in the 1700 block of Grove Street, where they arrested the male driver, Jackson said.
The officer was taken to an area hospital with back pain.
The driver, whose name was not released, faces charges of felony eluding and hit-and-run and other traffic-related charges, Jackson said.
