OAK CREEK, Wis. (CBS 58) -- An Oak Creek police officer was injured by a man escaping arrest, and now they're looking for a woman who they say was involved. 

It happened on April 18 and was caught on camera. 

Police say an employee of a business told them a man was drunk and bothering them and didn't have money to pay for what he was trying to buy.

That man was identified by police as Antonio McAfee. Police say he ignored the officer's commands, got into a vehicle and reversed, striking a woman and pinning the officer between the open door of the vehicle and his squad. The police department says the force pulled the officer up and over the hood of the squad, causing injury to his leg and foot. 

McAfee was arrested Monday and faces three felonies. 

The police department is now looking for help identifying a woman seen walking away from the injured office in camera footage. Officials say she also ignored police orders and stood directly between the officer and McAfee to prevent the officer from controlling him. 

Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Lockwood at 414-766-7627, or to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 414-766-7699.
