An Upper Brookville man is accused of leading police on a chase that injured a Nassau police officer.
Police say Muhammaddauwd Cheema refused to pull over Saturday night on Northern Boulevard near Glen Cove Road in Greenvale.

The officer was treated for neck, back and shoulder injuries.
Police say officers caught up to Cheema on Dickens Avenue in Dix Hills where he was arrested after a brief struggle.
Cheema faces multiple charges, including assault and reckless endangerment.
