A Milwaukee officer was able to fend off an attack by a wanted man during a traffic stop on Sunday.
The suspect, Jonathan Boyd, told the officer he did not have a valid driver's license at the time of the stop.
In dashcam footage, the officer can be seen asking Boyd to get out of his vehicle.
Seconds later, Boyd is seen attacking the officer, who has not been identified, and the two wrestle one another to the ground.
The officer said Boyd reached for his gun before getting away from the officer and fleeing the scene on foot, according to TMJ 4.
Boyd, who is wanted on three felony warrants, was later caught and taken into custody and the officer was not seriously hurt.
Police say the officer pulled out his weapon after Boyd ran, but he did not fire the gun.
In Michigan, Boyd is charged with assaulting a peace officer and resisting arrest.
Boyd is wanted for forgery after trying to withdraw cash using someone else's checkbook in Wisconsin.
