Dashcam footage has revealed the moment that a driver accidentally hit a police officer and sent him flying as he chased a shoplifting suspect on foot.
Officer Greg Wertman, 35, remains hospitalized in serious condition after being struck by a civilian vehicle as he pursued the suspect in Boynton Beach, Florida on Wednesday.
Suspect Ryan Lamar Moody, 24, was apprehended a short time later by other officers.
'This incident is another example of how dangerous the policing profession is,' Boynton Beach Police Chief Michael Gregoy said on Monday, according to the Sun-Sentinel.

The incident occurred while Wertman was responding to the Kohl's store at 1901 N. Congress Avenue.
Store employees said they spotted Moody and an alleged accomplice, 23-year-old Elyshia M. Wilson, stealing $1,200 worth of baby products.
When Moody saw police detaining Wilson, he made a break for it, according to the police report.
In the commotion, Wilson also escaped and fled as cops focused on capturing Moody, police said.
Moody was apprehended after a chase and Wilson surrendered to police the following day.
The woman who struck Wertman in her SUV was 'very shaken up,' the police chief said. She is unlikely to be charged with a crime, he said.

The impact sent Wertman flying, and he remains hospitalized in serious condition this week
In a statement, Wertman's family thanked the community for their support, and said that fellow officers hadn't left his side since he was hospitalized.
'We look forward to the day Greg can return to work with his brothers and sisters in blue. We know he does too,' the statement said.
Wilson was charged with grand theft and remains behind bars at the Palm Beach County Detention Center pending bail of $25,000.
Moody was charged with grand theft and resisting arrest. He posted bail of $3,000 and was released on Thursday.
Booking records show that Moody was arrested again on Friday in Palm Springs where he was charged with shoplifting. He has since posted bail of $1,000 and has been released.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
