Appeal following assault of police officer

We are appealing for information following the assault of a police officer earlier this year.

Two Police Community Support Officers were on patrol in Church Crescent, Essington, on 17 April, when they spotted a blue Ford Fiesta.

One of the officers asked the driver to turn off the engine. The driver then reversed towards him, colliding with his left knee.

The car immediately left the scene and drove away in the direction of Hill Street.

If you were in the area and witnessed this incident, please let us know by calling 101 quoting 673 of 17 April.

Alternatively, send a message to our LiveChat.
