A Tacoma police officer whose SUV was surrounded by a crowd was seen on camera running over a pedestrian Saturday night.
The incident was captured on camera and distributed on social media.
Tacoma police officer Wendy Haddow said officers were called to Ninth South and Pacific where cars were blocking the intersection and doing burnouts and doughnuts. A crowd of about 100 people had gathered to watch.

A Tacoma police officer who arrived soon found himself surrounded by people who were banging on the windows and SUV in a threatening way, Haddow said. Some of the SUV’s windows may have been broken.
As the officer tried to move out of the crowd, he backed up, but was unable to get out, so he drove forward.
Haddow said she believed one person fell as the SUV moved forward and was run over. She said one person was taken to a local hospital with minor injuries.
