'Not only were the lives of two of our officers put at risk, there was also potential for serious harm for others in the area at the time.'
A man in his 30s has been arrested after a police car was damaged after being rammed by another car in Derry on Friday.
While no serious injuries were reported by the PSNI, one officer did report having neck and arm pain as a result of what police referred to as a 'despicable' incident. "One officer got out of the car to speak with the driver but, as he approached the Volvo, the driver reversed at speed, narrowly missing the officer and another parked vehicle.
Inspector Ryan Robb said PSNI officers 'work tirelessly to keep people safe' and that attacks such as this are 'unacceptable'.
