Officers in Derry have made an arrest after a police vehicle was rammed by another vehicle in the Glengalliagh Road area of the city yesterday evening, Sunday 11th August.

Sergeant Torrance said: “Police were on patrol in the Beraghvale area shortly before 10:10pm, when a dark coloured Audi drOve towards their vehicle at speed, and almost collided with it.

“Officers pursued the vehicle, with one officer also doing so on foot, however the car made off.

“A short time later, the same vehicle rammed a police vehicle while it was stationary in traffic at Glengalliagh Road, before making off towards Racecourse Road.

“Officers located the vehicle, from which the driver had made off on foot, and also located a number of items inside it, including a machete and a quantity of suspected Class A drugs.

“A short time later, they detained the suspect, and he was arrested on suspicion of a number of driving offences, as well as disorderly behaviour, failing to stop for police, obstructing police, resisting police, possession of a suspected Class A controlled drug, and possession of an offensive weapon in a public place.

“He remains in police custody at this time, assisting with enquiries.

“Our enquiries remain ongoing, and I would appeal to anyone who may have any dash-cam or mobile phone footage that could assist us, to contact 101, quoting reference number 1686 of 11/08/24.”
