A video captures the horrifying moment a suspected car thief runs over a San Francisco police officer and his own accomplice during an attempted auto burglary.

A plainclothes officer spotted two burglary suspects attempting to break into an SUV on Thursday while a third remained behind the wheel of a car.

One of the suspects got back in their car, and police moved in on the third suspect.

The video shows an officer tackling a suspect and the driver backs up, running both the cop and his own accomplice.

The driver then pulls forward and runs over the two men for a second time.

Another officer can be seen hitting the car with his baton before pulling his gun out.

'This incident is a stark reminder of the dangers SFPD officers face on a daily basis,' said Grace Gatpandan to ABC 30.

'What began as a property crime quickly turned into a violent assault which could have had deadly consequences.'

The three suspects have been identified as Devonta Lofton, 25, Adrian Landers, 23, and Jamon Butler, 19.

Lofton has was been charged with attempted homicide, assault with a deadly weapon, assault upon a peace officer with firearm, second degree burglary, reckless evading, hit and run causing injury, conspiracy and misdemeanor driving with a suspended license.

Landers is charged with attempted homicide charges, assault with a deadly weapon and multiple other assault charges in addition to second degree burglary, a parole violation and misdemeanor possession of burglary tools.

Butler was booked on felony attempted homicide charges, assault charges and second-degree burglary.

Police have not yet released their booking photos.

The injured officer is an 11-year veteran of the department. He was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries and has since been released. The suspect is still being treated for his injuries.

The San Francisco Police Officers Association released a statement expressing frustration with the restrictions on use of force allowed by police.

'The video below shows a clear and deliberate assault on SFPD officers that rises to the level of attempted murder. It is outrageous that the policy imposed on our officers, by the Police Commission, prohibits us from protecting our own lives by firing at a suspect in a moving vehicle who is trying to kill us,' the group wrote.
