Officers inside police car are almost crushed | Bodycam Captures Terrifying Hit & Run

Two police officers on a late-night patrol receive an urgent call about a stolen vehicle reported nearby. Using live tracking, ANPR data and vehicle checks, they soon spot a Land Rover Defender matching the description and begin to follow it through the streets of London. The suspect turns into a narrow road and suddenly stops. The reverse lights flash on before the two‑tonne Defender reverses at speed, ramming into the police car, driving up the bonnet, crushing the roof and shattering the windscreen before flipping over. Miraculously, both officers survive the brutal ramming attack. They immediately launch a foot pursuit, chasing the suspect through side streets. One officer—who also runs marathons—catches the suspect, deploys a Taser, and brings the dangerous incident to an end. This footage is a stark reminder of the dangers officers confront daily—18 are assaulted every day, and two are seriously injured each week while serving London.
