BATON ROUGE - An LSU Police bicycle officer was hit by a car while patrolling on campus late Thursday night.

Police are searching for the driver.

The officer reported minor injuries and was checked out by the Baton Rouge Fire Department and EMS on scene.

Baton Rouge Law enforcement is looking for a dark colored - possibly gray or blue - Nissan Versa or Toyota Auris with front end damage last seen driving southbound on Nicholson by a white female.
