Officers Injured During Ramming Incident In Crossmaglen
The PSNI have issued an appeal for information and witnesses after a police car was rammed and two officers injured in Crossmaglen on Sunday, 30 July.
The incident occurred when local neighbourhood officers conducting proactive patrols attempted to stop a car "acting suspiciously" in the Cullaville Road area at around 9.10pm.
The vehicle, a red Hyundai i20, failed to stop before driving into the police vehicle at speed. The male driver then made off on foot.
Both officers were injured in the incident, with one taken to hospital for back injuries.
Neighbourhood Policing Inspector for South Armagh Adam Corner said: "This type of reckless and cowardly behaviour places members of the public and our officers at risk of serious harm and we are lucky not to be dealing with more serious injuries.
"I am appealing to anyone who may have seen red Hyundai i20 in the area, or who may have any information as to the driver or dash-cam footage that could assist with enquiries, to contact police urgently via 101 quoting reference number 1767 of 30/07/23.
"A report can also be made using the online reporting form via www.psni.police.uk/makeareport. Alternatively, information can be provided to Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or online at www.crimestoppers-uk.org."
