In the early hours of Sunday, October 1, two police officers from PSNI sustained injuries during an incident on Concession Road, Crossmaglen, when a vehicle failed to stop. Inspector McCormick provided details, stating that at approximately 00.20 BST, local neighbourhood officers engaged in proactive patrols attempted to stop a grey Audi A6. The vehicle, however, failed to comply, resulting in damage to the police vehicle’s front and injuries to the two officers on board. Fortunately, their injuries did not require hospital treatment.

Expressing concern over the reckless and cowardly behavior exhibited, Inspector McCormick emphasised the serious risk posed to both members of the public and law enforcement officers. The incident is believed to have involved the vehicle crossing over the border.

McCormick issued an appeal for information, urging anyone who may have witnessed the grey Audi A6 in the area or possesses details about the driver to come forward. Additionally, individuals with dash-cam footage relevant to the incident are encouraged to contact the police via 101, quoting reference number 32 01/10/23.
