Two police officers have been injured, when a car which failed to stop, hit a number of PSNI vehicles in the Newry area on Friday evening (October 29).
It happened shortly before 7.30pm. A 25-year-old man has been arrested.
Inspector Steven Weatherald said a Ford Kuga was detected by officers on the A1 southbound carriageway. He said it’s believed the car was involved in a number of other incidents earlier in the evening.
“Police signalled for the vehicle to stop but it failed to do so and a pursuit was then authorised by specially trained officers.
“Officers deployed stinger devices before the vehicle collided with a number of police vehicles. A 25-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of a number of motoring offences.
“Two officers were treated for minor injuries.
“Anyone who witnessed this incident, or who captured footage, is asked to contact police on 101, quoting reference 1636- 29/10/21,” said Inspector Steven Weatherald.
