AIRDRIE- An RCMP officer who was injured during a traffic stop is recovering in hospital from surgery and a 25-year-old Calgary man is facing numerous charges.

Police tried to stop a suspicious vehicle in Airdrie early Saturday when it suddenly stopped at an intersection.

When two officers tried to approach the vehicle, the driver reversed into one of the officers and two police cruisers.

The officer was dragged as the driver was fleeing the scene.

A second officer was treated for a hand injury.
