According to a spokesperson with the Houston Police Department, the accident occurred at approximately 10:30 p.m. in the 2000 block of Commerce near Chartes.
The undercover narcotics officer was driving in a city-assigned pickup truck and was turning onto Commerce from Chartres when a homeless man walked out in front of his vehicle.
The undercover officer, unable to avoid hitting the pedestrian, struck him with the pickup truck that he was driving.
The pedestrian was transported by ambulance to an area hospital and is currently listed in stable condition with possible broken legs.
No further information regarding the incident has been released.
