Police in the North are appealing for information after a police officer was struck by a vehicle close to the border.

The incident occurred shortly after 6.30am last Sunday, in the Crossowen Road area of Clogher.

An officer approached a white BMW at a police cordon to speak to the driver, but the driver continued ahead in the vehicle, dragging the officer to the ground, before leaving the scene.

The officer sustained leg injuries as a result and required hospital treatment.

The vehicle was located abandoned nearby a short time later.

A man in his forties was later arrested on suspicion of a number of offences, including causing grievous bodily injury by dangerous driving and driving when unfit through drink or drugs.
