Dog snares suspect after police car ramming in Nottinghamshire
Nottinghamshire PoliceA dog administered some ruff justice after catching a suspect who tried to flee after ramming a police car.
PD Wolf from Nottinghamshire Police leapt into action after his handler spotted a stolen vehicle about 03:00 GMT on Wednesday in Nottingham Road, Selston.
The vehicle reversed into the police car with the driver attempting to run away from the scene.
But the 46-year-old man was no match for PD Wolf who chased him down.
The man was arrested at the scene on suspicion of vehicle theft, criminal damage and assaulting a police officer.
Det Ch Insp Nicholas Hall, from Nottinghamshire Police, said: "Our team of police dogs and their expert handlers are an invaluable resource for the force, and this was another good example of what they can do.
"Offences of this nature are extremely upsetting for victims and I am pleased that on this occasion we were able to recover this vehicle so quickly."
