Seattle police on Friday responded to a report that two men were asleep inside a car in the middle of the road, according to KIRO-TV.
The stolen car’s engine was running and it was in "drive," police said.
Police said "the only thing keeping it in place was the sleeping driver’s foot."
As police tried to put the other vehicle into "park," one sleeping man awoke.
He reversed the car and drove at a high speed into the patrol car parked nearby, narrowly missing the officers, police said.
When officers caught up with the fleeing men in the stolen car, a passenger jumped from the vehicle and fled on foot, police said.
The 25-year-old driver was arrested and booked into King County Jail.
Police are still looking for the passenger.
