Brick police are on the hunt for a man who hit an officer with an all-terrain vehicle at about 1 p.m. Thursday.

Luckily, the officer, who was not identified, was uninjured. The details of the incident were not immediately released, but according to police, officers are looking for a quad-style ATV with about a 125cc engine. The driver is described as a white male with medium height, a stocky build who looked to be in his 20s, wearing a helmet at the time. He was last seen in area of 19th Avenue, around Branch Boulevard and Lindbergh Drive.

A second suspect is another male who is described as tall and thin with a dark colored hair tied in a ponytail, also appearing to be in his 20s. That second male was riding a two-wheel dirtbike, with approximately 60-80ccs of power.

“If you see these subjects or know who they are, please do not attempt to take any action other than notifying police,” a statement from police said. “We have plenty of police officers in the area who can respond quickly. At this time we have no reason to believe there is a danger to the public. We’re just looking for a little help in identifying these subjects.”
