While he was being pursued, the 31-year-old reversed the truck into two police vehicles, damaging them.

An officer suffered a cut and bruising during one of the collisions after the chase started at about 10.15am on September 23.

The flat-bed vehicle was found unattended in Athelstan Road at about 11.20am and the driver was tracked down nearby and arrested.

Higgins, of Canterbury Road, Margate, returned on bail on Tuesday and was charged with two counts of dangerous driving, two counts of driving whilst disqualified, two counts of no insurance and fraudulently using a registration mark.

He pleaded guilty at Medway Magistrates’ Court the following day where he was remanded to be sentenced at Maidstone Crown Court on a date to be confirmed.

Det Insp Martin Davies said: “I would like to thank the members of the public who responded to our appeal for information following this incident.

“The response from Faversham residents was outstanding and proved crucial to our investigation.”
