BOSTON (WHDH) - An officer is injured after an erratic driver took off from police and dragged them at Stuart Street and Tremont Street in Boston Tuesday afternoon.

Police say the driver took off from a traffic stop and knocked a telephone pole at Shawmut and Herald Streets as well as several parked cars.

The driver was eventually stopped and apprehended at Plympton Street and Albany Street. She was taken to the hospital with unknown injuries.

The car landed in front of the windows to Joshua Paul’s South End Fitness Studio.

“I’m training my client and I look up and he looks over my shoulder and he’s like ‘ohhh’ and I turned around and was like ‘whoa,'” said Paul.

“It’s unordinary to see someone driving too fast, but this of course, you know, off the charts!” Paul said.

There is no word on the extent of injuries to the police officer.
