A man has been jailed for leaving a Met officer with multiple injuries after reversing into him with his car to avoid being arrested
'Dangerous' Joseph Ward, 24, has been jailed for four years after backing into Inspector Tony McGovern after he was pulled over in Haringey.
Insp McGovern was out riding his police bike on July 1 last year when he became suspicious about the way a car was being driven in Tottenham. He pulled over Ward and spoke to him when the car came to a stop. He was linked to other offences and admitted 14 separate crimes, including assault occasioning actual bodily harm, impersonating a police officer, dangerous driving and failing to stop for police.
Detective Chief Superintendent Lee Hill, who leads the Violent Crime Taskforce, said: “Joseph Ward is a dangerous man and I have no doubt that he would have gone on to commit more offences. I am pleased that he has received a custodial sentence and I praise Tony for his outstanding bravery.
