The officer, who was on a motorbike, stopped a car in Rutland Avenue on Thursday, August 13 at around 2.30pm.

As the driver got out of the car and walked towards the police officer, a passenger then moved into the drivers' seat and started to drive the car forward.

The officer, who was still on his motorbike, started to follow - but suddenly the driver reversed towards him, forcing him to get out of the way.

The car then drove at him again, with the officer once again having to take evasive action on his bike.

Fortunately, the police officer was not injured.
