Horrifying footage has revealed the moment a man deliberately ploughed into a police car while officers were responding to a 999 call.

On June 7 this year, officers were on Crewe Road responding to a 999 call to concern for safety for Joseph Sharpes at an address in Haslington, Cheshire.

Before police arrived, Sharpes left the address and drove in the direction of the officers. At around 12.30pm, as the police vehicle neared him, Sharpes then deliberately turned into the officers path hitting them head-on, a court heard.
