Man detained after hit-and-run murder bid on police in Glasgow

A man has been detained by police investigating the attempted murder of two police officers in Glasgow.

A major investigation was launched after the two officers were hit by a car as they responded to a call in the Knightswood area on Sunday.

The pair were seriously hurt, and taken to hospital.

Police said at the time the two officers were called out to Banner Drive at around 11.15pm on Sunday and had stopped a car to speak to the occupants.

The car allegedly deliberately reversed and struck both officers.

Police have confirmed a 28-year-old man has been arrested and detained in connection with the inquiry.

A report will be submitted to the procurator fiscal.

It is expected he will appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Monday.

Meanwhile, police yesterday released an image of another man they want to trace in connection with the incident.

They are urging the public not to approach David McLean, 30, as he may be dangerous.

Anyone who sees him should instead contact police immediately.
