Police arrested a man accused of assaulting an officer at a Sheetz gas station in Hillsborough, North Carolina, on Wednesday afternoon. The man dragged the officer with his SUV as he made his getaway, police said.

A day after the alleged assault, police said they arrested Frederick Jermaine Pullen Jr., 49, of Morrisville. He faces multiple charges, including felony assault on an officer and possession of a firearm by a felon. Pullen also had six warrants for his arrest in Durham, police said. 

The Hillsborough Police Department did not name the officer who got hurt, but said he was taken to the hospital with minor injuries. 

The incident started when police went to the Sheetz at 1990 N.C. 86 S. in Hillsborough at about 2:15 p.m. Wednesday for a report of a larceny, police said in a news release.

While the officers were at the gas station, they were alerted to someone trying to steal from the gas station while they were there, police said.

When they went up to the suspect, police say the man assaulted an officer in the store before running to an SUV parked outside. 

Police say the man, later identified as Pullen, got in the driver's seat of a GMC Terrain SLE and assaulted the officer again as police tried to pull him from the SUV.

The man then put the SUV in drive and dragged the officer, police said. 

Pullen is being held in the Orange County Detention Center without bond, according to police.
