CHICAGO (WLS) -- Two men accused of hitting a Chicago police officer with a car during a traffic stop appeared in court Sunday.

Tajze Mullins, 23, and Shaquile Fisher, 29, are both facing charges. The judge denied bail for Mullins and Fisher was given a $75,000 bond.

Police said Fisher was the passenger in the car with Mullins when he hit the officer on Dusable Lake Shore Drive near Roosevelt on Friday. The chaotic scene shut down both directions of the drive between Balbo and 18th Street near Museum Campus.

They say after a chase, both men then got out of the car near 71st and Vincennes and ran. Both were arrested shortly after.

Once at the police station, police say Mullins tried to escape through the ceiling and caused extensive damage.

The injured officer has a broken leg, but is expected to be okay.
