Police pulled up beside the vehicle with their lights flashing.
Then an officer opened the door and told the driver to step out of the vehicle.
The driver then allegedly accelerated abruptly and dragged the officer along the road until coming to a halt.
Paramedics attended the scene shortly after to provide first aid to the injured police officer. He was later taken to hospital with serious injuries.
Both boys have been charged with a long list of crimes following the incident, including aggravated home burglary, assault to a public officer, and dangerous driving causing bodily harm.
Both teenagers are set to appear at Perth Children's Court today.
