Later saying he had been fleeing an attacker, the driver of a pickup truck drove the wrong way on Route 46 in Little Ferry and struck a South Hackensack police car that was answering an emergency call, authorities said.
Matt Bialorucki of Passaic told police that he was driving along Main Street in Little Ferry on Thursday night when a man he knew jumped on the back of his truck, hitting the doors and windows several times with a chain.
While attempting to flee, he said, he made a wrong turn onto Route 46, driving his truck west in the eastbound lane.
The truck then collided with a cruiser driven by South Hackensack Patrolman Nicholas Ulliana.
The officer was treated at Hackensack Medical Center for a slight back sprain and released.
Bialorucki and his passenger, John Ohagen, were not injured.
Police said the two men later signed complaints of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon against Robert Jackson of 33 Aspen Place, Passaic.
Jackson had jumped off the truck before the crash and fled in another vehicle, police said.
No charges were filed by police against Bialorucki.
