A manhunt was underway in Portland, Ore., on Saturday night after a suspect -- accused of ramming into a police officer with a stolen truck on Christmas Eve -- somehow escaped from a holding cell at the city’s Central Precinct, according to a report.

The police officer hit by the truck on Dec. 24 was hospitalized with a broken pelvis, FOX 12 of Oregon reported. The suspect, identified as David Dahlen, 24, was arrested Saturday on suspicion of attempted murder of a police officer, the report said.
