A Massachusetts state trooper was dragged along a busy highway after pulling over a Mercedes driver for a traffic violation, shocking video shows.
The unidentified officer, who was injured in the incident, stopped Derek Lobo, 31, around 6 p.m. Wednesday for “traffic violations,” according to the state police Facebook post.
Dashboard camera footage shows the officer and his partner leaning against Lobo’s Mercedes with the driver’s door open. Seconds later, the unidentified officers lean closer to the car, appearing to struggle with Lobo as his partner, Corey Douglas, attempts to grab his female colleague to pull him out.
Douglas’ attempt was futile as Lobo took off down the road, taking the officer with him as Douglas ran back toward the cruiser.
Lobo drives wildly down the street as the officer holds on to the door before being thrown from the car and skidding down the street for several meters. The officer suffered minor injuries, according to police.

The officer was seen immediately getting up from the ground as he ran towards the police car.
The two chased Lobo down the block before the video cut off.
The attacker was arrested a day later at a residence on Union Street and taken into custody.

Lobo was detained by the officer and dragged down the street, according to police.
He was booked into the state police barracks in Middleboro.
He is wanted for assault and battery on a police officer, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, negligent operation of a motor vehicle and trafficking in fentanyl, among other charges, according to state police.
Douglas reposted the video on his Facebook page, saying he and the other officer were “fortunately not injured during the incident.”
The Post has contacted the Massachusetts State Police for comment.
