POLICE are asking for witnesses to come forward after an incident in which a police officer was almost hit by a car.
At about 11.45pm on Friday, December 21, a dark Peugeot saloon failed to stop for a police officer who signalled for it to do so on Peel Road, Douglas, near Pulrose Bridge.
The vehicle narrowly missed striking the officer and continued on, before being followed into Pulrose, where it was found abandoned.
It is believed that two other cars, one of which was a fast food delivery car, were present on Peel Road at the time of the incident.
Police would like to speak with the occupants of these vehicles who may be able to assist with police inquiries.
If you have any information in relation to this matter please contact the PC David Schumacher of the roads policing unit at police headquarters on 631212.
