Police are looking for a second suspect they say rammed into a cruiser with a stolen Dodge Charge with a North Carolina tag.

Two officers pulled into a gas station along Northside Drive when the car rammed into them head on, Atlanta police spokesman Sgt. Lukasz Sajdak said.

The two suspects then got out of the car and ran, he said. One of the men were caught and taken into custody.

Sajdak said the officers complained of leg pain.

No other details were released.
