A Miami police officer was taken to the hospital early Sunday morning after his patrol vehicle was struck by another vehicle in Little Havana, police said.

According to Miami Police, the incident happened at about 3:20 a.m., when one of their officers was T-boned by another vehicle at 1200 SW 7th Street.

John Randin told CBS News Miami that he was driving behind the car that hit the police cruiser.

"I don't think this gentleman is at fault," Randin said. "It was a green light, and the cop just went straight through the intersection with his lights on, but like I said, it was green." 

Randin said after the crash, people rushed to help the officer while he called 911. 

"I got out of the car. Called 911 real quick. The officer seemed like he was in pain. But I signaled to him like I'm on the phone. I was standing in front of the patrol car, and he gave me the thumbs up like thank you for calling," Randin said.  

After calling for help, Randin said he also went to check on the officer. 

"There were a bunch of people there trying to help him out and open the doors. I just kept telling them leave him alone, don't touch him," Randin said.

The police cruiser was seen pinned to a building with the entire top cut out. Both vehicles were eventually pulled apart and towed away. 

No charges filed at this time

Police said the officer was transported by Miami Fire-Rescue to the hospital, with possibly multiple fractures. However, police didn't release his condition, only saying he was stable.

Miami Police have not said yet whether the driver of that other car will face any consequences for the crash.  

The investigation into the crash is ongoing. 

The names of neither the officer nor the driver of the other vehicle have been released at this time.
