When police went to arrest the driver in Telford, the suspect became aggressive and attacked one officer, who was assisted by a member of the public and had to call for back-up.
The driver then kicked a second officer and was eventually apprehended, later blowing into a breathalyser.
It found 65 micrograms of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath – the legal limit is 35.
Police said on social media that the incident was "unacceptable" and that their investigations will continue.
They also thanked a member of the public who came to aid of the officer.
