A police officer was "dragged along the road" after the driver of a car he was searching "accelerated and drove off".
Merseyside Police's Dan Parr and Steph Catterall were on patrol when they responded to reports of two men who were seen acting suspiciously. The men had discarded a bag containing a significant amount of cash and drugs in St Helens.
Following a search of the area in May last year, they spotted a vehicle matching the description, and while carrying out a search the driver accelerated and drove off, dragging Dan along the road. He sustained serious injuries to his wrist, shoulder and leg which took months to recover. His injuries were so serious, paramedics were unable to move him for over an hour.
