Two police officers have been injured after a suspected stolen car rammed their vehicle in Londonderry.

Police said the car was used as a weapon against the officers who were trying to stop it in the Clon Elagh area at around 18:15 GMT on Sunday.

They said that following a short pursuit, the driver of the grey Ford Focus stopped suddenly before reversing into the police vehicle, injuring two officers.

The car then made off towards the border and the officers were able to finish their shift.

Supt Brannigan said: “It is unacceptable that those working to keep their community safe should be targeted in this way.

“The police vehicle sustained damage and will now be off the road for repairs, which impacts on the local community.”

He said those responsible should expect to be brought before the courts to face the consequences of their actions.

The police have appealed for witnesses to come forward.
