The driver then led officers on a chase, hoping to escape them
Dramatic footage shows a driver ramming a police car on a residential street in a Nottingham suburb. The incident occurred after officers were on their way to an address in Sherwood after receiving information a man suspected to have been involved in a serious assault was located there.
They came across a Volkswagen Transporter van which drove off at speed after ramming into the police car. The suspect then led the police on a chase, during which he hit speeds of 70mph in a 30mph zone, drove through red lights and reversed into a police vehicle. His attempts to evade police were in vain, however, as officers made tactical contact with the front of the van and arrested the suspect. The incident is included in an episode of Channel 5's Police Interceptors due to air on Monday evening .
The episodes also captures the force's knife crime team catching a man with a large bag of drugs stuffed down his boxer shorts after they stopped a car. Meanwhile, a motorcyclist makes a costly mistake after trying to get away from officers in the Mansfield area. Following a police vehicle and foot pursuit he is soon tracked down and put in handcuffs. The consequences of his actions don’t stop there, as his bike gets seized by officers and later gets crushed.
