PSNI received reports of a silver Audi being driven in a "dangerous and erratic manner" along Skeoge Road towards Culmore Road.

The police confirmed the vehicle was detected travelling along Racecourse Road before crossing the border into the Republic of Ireland.

The vehicle was then detected a second time shortly after 10.15pm travelling along Culmore Road.

Four police officers were injured when the silver Audi struck two PSNI vehicles.

It was here the PSNI signalled for the car to stop but the driver failed to comply.

"A pursuit was then authorised by specialist trained officers," explained Inspector Cummings.

"The car travelled along the Skeoge Road and then came to a stop on a grass area of Bracken Park.

"During the pursuit, the car struck two police vehicles causing minor damage to the cars at both the Skeoge Road roundabout and as the vehicle turned off towards Glenabbey.

"One man is believed to have made off on foot from the vehicle following the incident towards the Galliagh Park area.

"In total, four officers were treated for minor injuries following the incident," added Inspector Cummings.

Inspector Cummings continued: "Enquiries are continuing and we would appeal to anyone who witnessed a silver Audi driving dangerously along the Culmore Road area of Derry/Londonderry last night, to contact police on 101 quoting reference number 1924 11/05/20.

"Alternatively, information can also be provided to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 which is 100% anonymous and gives people the power to speak up and stop crime.”
