Police want to know who nearly run down an officer at the Occoquan Craft Show.
A red Jeep was spotted by the uniformed officer driving in an area of town that had been blocked off by cones. The officer went to speak to the driver, and as he walked out in front of the Jeep the driver accelerated, according to police.
While police have announced no arrests in this case, the public should not be concerned.
“At this time it does not appear to be random so no cause for the general public to be concerned,” said Manassas police spokeswoman Adrienne Helms.
