A tipper truck which allegedly rammed into a police car in south London last week has been found.

However, police are still continuing to pursue all lines of enquiries to find those who were involved.

At around 10.50am on Friday, April 15, officers in a marked police car in Landor Road, Stockwell indicated for a yellow and black Ford Transit tipper truck to stop.

This was reportedly initiated as a routine traffic stop because of the manner of the driving and damage to the vehicle.

Instead of stopping it is alleged that the truck reversed at speed into the bonnet of the police car - causing extensive damage.

One officer went to hospital for injuries to his head and hand but has since been discharged.

A second officer was assessed at the scene by paramedics.

A search of the area was carried out following the collision but the truck could not be located at the time.

Police are not releasing where this truck has now been found for "operational reasons".

It has been seized for further examination.

Anyone with other information that could help police is asked to call 101 ref CAD 2376/15APR.
