The suspect was wanted after crashing his Lamborghini Urus into a police vehicle in Broadway, Bexleyheath, on Monday, 5 October. He was fleeing officers when the collision happened, causing whiplash injuries to four officers.
Met Officers Praise Teamwork
“This is a good example of the Met’s specialist units working closely with police teams in boroughs, to locate and take people suspected of serious crime and violence off the streets,” said Detective Chief Inspector John Swinfield. “The car attack on officers was extremely serious and reckless, and it was fortunate that no-one was seriously injured.”
