CROSS-BORDER HUNT FOR CRIME GANG WHO HIT POLICE OFFICER

GARDAI and the PSNI are hunting a gang which stole a car in County Donegal before using the vehicle to drive at police in Derry.

The northern-registered Toyota Celica was taken in Bridgend just after 12.20am this morning.

The PSNI said the stolen car later reversed into a police car in the Caw Hill Park area of Derry City at about 4am causing damage to the front grill.

Officers then approached the car which was driven at them and over the foot of one of the officers who did not suffer injury.
