It happened yesterday morning
A police officer has suffered serious leg injuries after a hit-and-run in Walsall yesterday morning
The Walsall-based officer attempted to speak to the driver of a vehicle in Reservoir Place at around 10.30am.
The officer was then hit by the car and pushed against a police vehicle. The car then made off.
It has since been found abandoned and immediate enquiries to identify and trace the driver continue.
The officer has been taken to hospital with serious leg injuries. Another officer also received treatment but fortunately wasn't seriously injured.
Chief Superintendent Phil Dolby, from Walsall Local Policing Area (LPA) said: "An officer has been injured while going about their duties and this is completely unacceptable.
"We're waiting for further updates on the extent of his injuries and our thoughts are with them and their family. We'll be offering them all the support we can, alongside colleagues who were there at the time."
