Two cops injured in ‘hit-and-run’ while trying to stop suspected drug deal as man is arrested

TWO police officers were hurt in a ‘hit and run’ after they tried to step in during a suspected drug deal in South East London overnight.

The cops were patrolling through Bermondsey when they noticed a moped driver and motorists appearing to deal drugs.

But when they tried to intervene, the car sped from the scene – colliding with police officers on Bombay Street just before 9pm.

The female officer suffered a leg injury while the male officer’s arm was injured.

Both were taken to hospital.

A Met Police spokesperson said the moped allegedly involved was later traced to a nearby address in Camilla Road.

A firearm, believed to be an air-powered pistol – was discovered during a search of the address.

A male has since been arrested on grievous bodily harm.

He remains in custody.

The police officers have since been discharged from hospital.

Enquiries continue.
