A 19-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a female police officer was struck by a car while responding to a report of suspicious activity. The officer was dispatched to a retail park on Wilmslow Road in Cheadle last night following reports of individuals acting suspiciously inside a vehicle. As the officer approached the car, it accelerated towards her, resulting in serious injuries. She was immediately transported to a hospital for treatment.
Chief Inspector John Picton of the Stockport district expressed shock and concern over the incident, emphasizing the unpredictable nature of situations officers encounter. He stated, 'This incident is truly shocking, and shows how quickly situations our frontline officers attend can escalate. There is absolutely no explanation as to why this incident needed to end the way it did.' Chief Inspector Picton further condemned assaults on officers, stating, 'Our officers go to work every day to provide an outstanding service to the communities they serve, and achieve fantastic results in situations that are often challenging. Assaults on our officers are completely unacceptable and won’t be tolerated.' He confirmed that the officer is recovering well and that the investigation is ongoing.
