Police officer injured as flatbed truck ‘rams police vehicles’ in chase across Faversham

The pursuit began on the A2 at Brenley Corner in Faversham at about 10.15am on Monday when a police motorcyclist signalled for the driver to pull over.

But the truck, which had the partial plate GN19, did not stop and a pursuit began, continuing into Ospringe Street and then Faversham Road.

After reaching Well Lane, the driver then allegedly reversed into the bike.

The officer was not harmed during the incident and the truck left the scene.

A patrol car continued the chase into Hanslett’s Lane and then Water Lane in Ospringe, where it is reported the truck reversed again and struck the car.

The constable suffered a cut and bruising during the incident.

A police spokesman added: “We located the flat-bed vehicle unattended in Athelstan Road at around 11.20am and a suspect was arrested shortly after in Egbert Road.

“The 31-year-old man was later bailed to return to the police station on 13 December, pending further enquiries.

“Investigators are now appealing for motorists with dashcams and residents with private CCTV to check for relevant footage which may show the flat-bed truck.

“Anyone with information should call 01795 419119, quoting 46/161385/24.

“If you would prefer to remain anonymous contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555111 or use the online form on their website.”
