Two police officers on duty in Crossmaglen sustained injuries after a vehicle failed to stop in the early hours of Sunday.
Officers believe the vehicle crossed the border following the incident.
At around 12:20 am local neighbourhood officers, who were conducting proactive patrols on the Concession Road, Crossmaglen attempted to stop a car, a grey coloured Audi A6.
The car failed to stop and as a result the police vehicle sustained damage to the front injuring the two officers onboard.
While the officers did not require hospital treatment, PSNI Inspector McCormick described the Audi driver’s actions as “cowardly and reckless”.
Inspector McCormick said: “this type of behaviour places the public and officers at risk of serious harm.”
Police are appealing to anyone who may have seen the grey Audi A6 in the area, or who may have any information as to the driver or dash-cam footage that could assist with enquiries, to contact police via 101, quoting reference number 32 01/10/23.”
