A man has admitted causing serious injury by dangerous driving after running over a police officer.
Emergency services were called to Hewitt Avenue shortly after 8pm on May 17 after a backpack filled with cannabis was found in the street. While the officer was collecting the bag, he approached a white Ford Transit van with a number of people inside.
The van was then driven at the officer before hitting him and leaving the scene. He suffered serious injuries to his shoulder and wrist after being dragged along the road, requiring hospital treatment.
