Shortly after 8 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 10, a Baltimore County police officer was assaulted while working a uniformed-secondary job as security in the 8100 block of Honeygo Boulevard, officials said.

The incident was reportedly over a shoplifting complaint at an Old Navy store, according to WBAL

Officers later conducted a traffic stop of the suspect vehicle at the intersection of Philadelphia Road and Hamilton Avenue, police said. During that stop, as officers were attempting to arrest the suspects, the driver of the vehicle began to ram police units and other vehicles with their car.

During the assault, at least one officer discharged their firearm, reportedly striking a woman.
