A FEMALE cop has been seriously injured after being “rammed by a car driven at speed towards her”.
A 19-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after the events which took place last night at a retail park on Wilmslow Road.
Chief Inspector John Picton of the Stockport district described how assaults on officers are “completely unacceptable” and the “incident” as “truly shocking”.
He added: “There is absolutely no explanation as to why this incident needed to end the way it did.
“Our officers go to work every day to provide an outstanding service to the communities they serve, and achieve fantastic results in situations that are often challenging.
“Assaults on our officers are completely unacceptable and won’t be tolerated. In this case, the officer suffered serious injuries.
“Our investigation is continuing, and the officer is being supported by all of us at the Stockport district. She is recovering well.”
