Norwalk, CT (May 6, 2019) – On May 5, Norwalk Police Department responded to an officer-involved traffic incident on Main Street.

According to reports, a police officer for the Norwalk Police Department stopped a vehicle who ran a red light just after 12:30 a.m. The driver of the vehicle passed through the red light and made a left turn from the wrong lane.

While speaking with the 41-year-old driver of the vehicle, who was later identified as Terrance Parker, the officer noticed that the driver smelled like alcohol. The officer informed Parker that the vehicle would need to be towed and asked him to hand over his keys.

Parker became enraged. As a result, he accelerated his vehicle and struck the officer. The force of the impact caused him to fall backwards. The injured officer was transported to Norwalk Hospital for treatment. The driver of the car was later arrested by Norwalk Police.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the officer who was injured in this incident.
