Police officer's legs crushed after ‘car reversed into him several times'
A man has been arrested after a Greater Manchester Police sergeant was injured when his legs were crushed between two vehicles in an alleged hit and run incident, the force has said. It was reported that a car 'reversed into the officer several times' on Frodsham Street, Rusholme, on Friday at 6pm before leaving the scene. A 41-year-old man is in custody and has been arrested on suspicion of assault, dangerous driving and failure to stop, GMP said. The sergeant, who has not been named, is being treated in hospital for his injuries, which are not thought to be life-threatening or life-changing. Assistant Chief Constable Steph Parker condemned any assault on an officer as she wished the sergeant 'a speedy recovery as we look to pursue justice'. She said: 'This incident is a reminder of the risks that our frontline officers face daily as they go about their duties to keep communities safe and respond to incidents. 'Assaults on officers are wholly unacceptable and take them away from being able to serve and protect the public, which is what they come to work each shift to do. 'An investigation is now under way, and we'd like to thank those who have already come forward with information about the incident, and to those in the area who may have been impacted by the emergency response. 'Our priority is the wellbeing of the injured officer, and I wish him a speedy recovery as we look to pursue justice.' The sergeant is being supported by colleagues, a force spokesman added. Anyone who has CCTV or dash cam footage of the incident, or the moments before and after, has been asked to call police on 101 quoting log 2828 of 30/05/25.

Police sergeant reprimanded after sending character reference for sex offender from work email
Th4e police sergeant has been reprimanded. Photo: RNZ A police sergeant has been reprimanded for sending a character reference for a convicted sex offender from his police email address. The Independent Police Conduct Authority said the officer was supporting the sex offender's bail application to travel overseas for a sports tournament, though the reference was ultimately unnecessary and never reached the Court. An internal investigation found the sergeant was providing the reference in his capacity as a private citizen, but sent it from his work email. The authority said that had incorrectly and inappropriately implied his views represented the wider New Zealand Police. Police found he had breached the code of conduct and undertook "an employment process," which the IPCA said they were satisfied with.
