Car stopped by police attempted to hit one officer who had walked towards it before ramming patrol car and fleeing
Fintan O’Toole: The better educated each Irish generation is, the worse its chances of home ownershipInsp Ken McDermott said: “After stopping with this vehicle at the junction of the Buncrana Road and Upper Galliagh Road, one of the officers exited the police car and approached the Volvo, however the driver began to reverse the vehicle at speed, narrowly missing the officer and another parked vehicle.
“The suspect then drove directly at the officer, forcing them to jump out of the way to avoid being hit. He then rammed the police vehicle, with the other officer still inside, before fleeing the scene in the direction of Whitehouse Road. “This was a reckless incident which put the lives of two police officers at risk, not to mention the potential of serious harm for any members of the public in the vicinity.
“Our inquiries remain ongoing as we work to locate the driver of the Volvo involved in this incident and I would appeal to anyone with information, including dashcam or other footage, to contact us on 101, quoting reference 1932 of 13/1/23.” People can also anonymously contact the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or online. - PA
