Police officer 'deliberately' run over by suspect
A police officer has been taken to hospital after being "deliberately" run over during a call out to a domestic incident.
The Greater Manchester Police (GMP) officer was described as being "in and out of consciousness" after being struck, and is being treated in hospital for a broken ankle.
A 32-year-old man has since been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after the incident in Beech Road, Sale, at 22:11 BST on Sunday.
A second man, 30, was arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender.
'No wider threat'
A GMP spokesperson said the suspect had "deliberately" driven over the officer before fleeing in the vehicle, but was detained "swiftly".
Det Ch Insp Nicola Walton from Trafford CID said: “Our officers put themselves out there on the streets every day to keep our communities safe.
"They do not expect to be targeted in such a way."
DCI Walton added there was "no wider threat" to the public.
