An ICE spokesperson said the man “ran in front” of the vehicle while attempting to flee after agents tried to conduct a vehicle stop. The man is in a stable condition in hospital with lower-body injuries, officials say.

CCTV video shows moment man is struck by ICE vehicle 1:13 The incident happened just days after an ICE-involved shooting in New York City in which agents shot and wounded a driver while his 5-year-old child was in the back seat. ICE said the agents thought their lives were in danger after the man refused lawful orders to exit the vehicle.

Here’s what we know about what happened in Houston:

Federal agents were trying to conduct a vehicle stop Saturday when two men got out of a white pickup truck and sprinted away, an ICE spokesperson said.

The target of the operation, undocumented immigrant Jose Mendoza-Cervantes, bolted and hasn’t been seen since, ICE said. The other man, later identified as Miguel Parra-Hernandez, is an undocumented immigrant from Mexico, ICE said.

Parra-Hernandez jumped out of the vehicle and ran into a parking lot, surveillance footage shows.

The video appears to show an unmarked black SUV accelerating into the parking lot. Then Parra-Hernandez disappears from view behind a parked pickup truck, which blocks the moment of impact.

The parked pickup truck drives away, revealing Parra-Hernandez lying on the ground and the unmarked SUV stopped in front of him.

Parra-Hernandez has two broken legs and was expected to undergo surgery, his attorney Kim Bruno told CNN.

The ICE spokesperson said Parra-Hernandez is an undocumented immigrant from Mexico who “ran in front of an ICE vehicle.”

ICE said it “immediately contacted EMS and provided aid” to Parra-Hernandez, who had non-life-threatening injuries and was in stable condition.

Surveillance video in Houston, Texas, captured the moment a vehicle driven by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents hit a man they were pursuing during an enforcement operation on Clay Road in Houston, Texas, on Saturday. The man was hospitalized with non-life threatening injuries, officials say.

The other man, Mendoza-Cervantes, remains unaccounted for. ICE described him as a “public safety threat” with several prior arrests for driving under the influence and for unlawful possession of a firearm.

One of the ICE agents was trying to box in Parra-Hernandez when he was struck, said Maj. Anthony McConnell of the Harris County Sheriff’s Office.

CNN has reached out to ICE for comment on the surveillance footage.

The Harris County Sheriff’s Office is leading the investigation, with assistance from the Harris County District Attorney’s Office.

Authorities are trying to get more surveillance footage from the scene, said McConnell, who leads the sheriff’s office’s special investigations bureau.

CNN has reached out to the sheriff’s office and the district attorney for additional information.

As CNN reported earlier this month, ICE officers will be allowed to conduct vehicle stops only if they have completed related training courses and must ensure vehicles used for stops are equipped with lights and sirens, according to new internal guidance reviewed by CNN.

The agency came under heightened scrutiny over vehicle stops after two immigrants, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston and Joan Sebastian Durán Guerrero in Biddeford, Maine, were fatally shot by ICE officers in July in two separate incidents.
