Two officers injured after car fails to stop
Two officers were injured after a car failed to stop in the early hours of Sunday morning (October 1).
The patrol vehicle they were in was badly damaged after it was hit by a grey Audi on Concession Road in Crossmaglen.
The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) said it believed the car made off in the direction of the border.
The officers did not require hospital treatment.
Inspector McCormick said: “At around 12.20am local neighbourhood officers, who were conducting proactive patrols, attempted to stop a car, a grey coloured Audi A6.
“The vehicle failed to stop and as a result the police vehicle sustained damage to the front injuring the two officers onboard, we are thankful they did not require hospital treatment.
“We believe that the vehicle crossed over the border.
“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.”
The PSNI is appealing to anyone who may have seen the grey Audi A6 in the area, or has dashcam footage that could assist with its inquiries, to get in touch.
