Two officers have been injured after a car "deliberately" reversed into a police vehicle in County Armagh on Monday, according to the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI).

It happened on the Monaghan Road, Middletown, at about 14:40 GMT.

Police say officers signalled for the driver of a grey Audi A6 to stop, however it made off in the direction of Armagh, colliding with a pillar before reversing into the police vehicle twice.

The officers' injuries are not thought to be serious.
