A man is facing charges after Durham police said he attacked an officer on Friday during an attempted traffic stop.

Demario Holman, 35 of Durham, is facing numerous charges. It includes:

• Assault on a law enforcement officer with serious injury
• Assault by strangulation
• Assault inflicting serious injury
• Possession of firearm by felon
• Possess weapon of mass destruction
• Felony possession of marijuana
• Felony flee to elude
• Carrying concealed gun
• Resist public officer

Authorities are holding Holman at the Durham County Jail on a $400,000 bond.

Durham police issued a release saying the officer tried to stop a car near the intersection of West Cornwallis Road and U.S. 15-501 after seeing it travel at a “high rate of speed.”

The vehicle got away from the attempted traffic stop at speeds of more than 100 mph, police said.

The officer did not attempt to pursue the car, but located it crashed a short time later near the exit ramp from U.S. 15-501 to West Cornwallis Road.

According to the police, the officer approached the car when the driver “became assaultive and attacked the officer, and attempted to render the officer unconscious.”

Police said an emergency chaplain riding with the officer intervened. Holman was eventually taken into custody.

Authorities took both the officer and the chaplain to the hospital for treatment.

Police found a rifle and marijuana in the car.
