PSNI officers draw batons to get to people in vehicle involved in pursuit
Police officers have been injured during a pursuit in which a car mounted a kerb before crashing into the PSNI vehicle.
In a statement, the PSNI said officers “received a report at approximately 4.30pm on Wednesday, 27th November of an ongoing disturbance, including a vehicle ramming at a shop in the Mill Road area”. “Three officers on-board sustained injuries and required hospital treatment – they were unable to continue on duty – the police vehicle was also damaged. After the Vauxhall Astra struck the police vehicle it attempted to flee and collided with another vehicle – no injuries were reported.
“Thankfully we are not dealing with more serious injuries today – and the actions of the driver responsible for the pursuit and subsequent collision with our officers is totally unacceptable. Members of the public could have also been injured by what happened due to this completely reckless and dangerous act that should be wholly condemned.
