Sgt. William Maher was greeted by dozens of officers as he left Lincoln Hospital.

On Tuesday, video caught the moment he was hit by a car driven by suspected burglars fleeing the scene.

Maher was responding to a reported break-in at a pawn shop around 1 a.m. in the Mount Eden section.

Police say two suspects were arrested Friday in South Carolina.
