A police officer on a bicycle was run down by a driver Thursday night.

It happened at 7:20 p.m. in Cartierville.

The officer was with two partners and all were on bicycles when they attempted to pull a driver over on Cousineau St. just north of Gouin Blvd.

The driver allegedly refused to stop and, according to police, intentionally tried to run one of the officers over.

The driver hit the bicycle, dragging it 15 metres, police say.

The officer was not hurt.

Police are treating this case as a hit-and-run and armed assault on a police officer.

The targeted officer did manage to see the driver's face.
