cin Tacoma, Washington on Sunday after viral footage showed a police car drive through a crowd of people who had gathered to watch a Fast and Furious-style drag race.

A cop car rams into a crowd - running over one bystander - as they watched street racers perform a Fast & Furious-style burnout.

A police cruiser ploughed through a group of almost 100 pedestrians as they gathered to watch the drivers' stunts in Tacoma, Washington state, on Saturday night.

The upsetting footage captures the moment the police car reverses before ramming through the crowd in Tacoma at 6.20pm on Saturday night.

The police car can then be seen slowly driving over a pedestrian who is lying on the road.

The man was taken to hospital - but his condition is currently unknown.

According to Tacoma police, around 100 people had gathered to watch a number of drivers perform burnouts on the Tacoma street - and were blocking the intersection when cops arrived.

Police say they “began clearing the intersection and people for the safety of those gathered and people trying to use the street”, the News Tribune reports.

Police then said the cruiser was surrounded by pedestrians - who hit the car and tried to smash through the windows.

A statement said: “The officer, fearing for his safety, tried to back up, but was unable to do so because of the crowd.

“While trying to extricate himself from an unsafe position, the officer drove forward striking one individual and may have impacted others.”
