Police were called to an incident in Herries Avenue in the early hours of Monday

A 26-year-old man has appeared in court over the attempted murder of a police officer who was hit by a car in Dumfries.

Martin McGroary, of Dumfries, made no plea and was remanded in custody.

A Subaru Forester was driven at the officer after police were called to assist a member of the public in Herries Avenue at about 01:20 on Monday.

Mr McGroary appeared on petition at Dumfries Sheriff Court on eight charges including attempted murder.

He is expected to make another appearance within the next eight days.

In addition to the attempted murder offence, he faces four road traffic charges, assault to severe injury and danger of life, and attempting to pervert the course of justice.

The police officer was taken to hospital with serious, but not life-threatening, injuries.
