A 28-year-old man has been charged with motoring offences after a police car was rammed during a pursuit in Londonderry.

Police have said that a dark coloured Audi was driven towards a police vehicle in the Beraghvale area of the city shortly after 22:10 BST on Sunday.

Officers pursued the vehicle, and a short time later the same car rammed a police vehicle which was stationary in traffic on the Glengalliagh Road.

The driver fled on foot and was arrested a short time later by officers.

He was subsequently charged with a number of motoring offences and will appear before Londonderry Magistrates' Court on Tuesday.
