An appeal for witnesses has been launched after a police officer was struck with a car at a retail park in Rugby.

At 11.30pm last Tuesday (April 22) plain clothes officers pulled over a black Audi A3 at Rugby’s Elliott’s Field retail park.

Warwickshire Police said the driver of the Audi pulled into a parking space but – when approached by an officer showing ID – the driver then ‘rammed’ the officer with the car and made off, speeding through Elliott’s Field car park.

The officer that was hit was not seriously injured.
