Authorities say the driver of the vehicle that struck a police officer in Williamsburg on April 4 has been caught.

Police say 20-year-old Allen Garcia, of Queens, was arrested and charged with assault, reckless endangerment, fleeing a police officer and leaving the scene of an incident without reporting.

His arrest comes less than three weeks after surveillance video showed him refusing to stop his car when being pulled over, and instead recklessly driving off — striking two police vehicles and an officer in the process. 

Garcia is expected to be arraigned in court, where a judge will decide whether to set bail or release him.
