CANTON, MASS. (WHDH) - Police are turning to the public for help tracking down a pair of motorcyclists after one of them struck and dragged a state trooper in Canton late Tuesday night, officials said.
A trooper responding to a report of motorcycles racing in the area of Route 138 around 10:20 p.m. found the cyclists in question at a Shell gas station and attempted to speak with them, according to Massachusetts State Police.
The motorcyclists then suddenly sped away from the trooper, who was dragged a short distance by one of the bikes, police said.
The trooper suffered minor injuries and was treated at the scene.
A clerk at the gas station told 7NEWS that he saw the injured trooper after hearing the motorcycles speed away.
“He had like a bandage wrapped around his arm but I didn’t get to see a cut or anything,” Darrin Williams said.
Surveillance images from the gas station showed one motorcyclist wearing a red and black jacket with a white helmet, while the other suspect could be seen wearing a black jacket with khaki-colored pants.
Anyone who recognizes the suspects is urged to contact state police at 617-698-5840.
