A Ford Focus was being driven on two wheels in a “demonstration of professional skills” in Russia.
Helmeted officers were in a plank position on the ground as the pirouetting vehicle drove by, with the car supposed to clear the policeman’s head.
But the Ford Focus “did not have sufficient speed” and landed on top of an officer named Alexei, 48.
The wheel appeared to hit his helmet and he was pinned under the motor.
“The stunt got out of control and the police Ford fell right on top of the policeman,” reported SHOT media.
The policeman suffered a broken leg, dislocated finger and wounds to his back, according to reports on the stunt at Ivanteevka, in Moscow Region.
The injured man was rushed to hospital where “his life was not in danger”.
A spokesman said: “During a demonstration of professional skills at the Professional Training Center of the State Traffic Inspectorate of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in Moscow, an accident occurred.
“As a result, one of the employees was injured.
“He was provided with medical assistance.
“At present, there are no threats to his life and health.”
The performance was undertaken by a police stunt team.
It was unclear if the Ford Focus driver will face disciplinary action.
