Detectives are appealing for information after two officers were intentionally struck by a car in Camden. At around 2.30am on Sunday, 29 December, officers attempted to speak with a man close to Camden Market following reports that he was in possession of a knife. The man then got into a white 4×4 before driving towards the officers and colliding with them. Additional officers and the London Ambulance Service attended. The two police constables, both men, were taken to a north London hospital for treatment; their injuries were assessed as not life-threatening or life-changing. Both have since been discharged from hospital this morning. The driver failed to stop at the scene and made off on Adelaide Road towards Swiss Cottage.
