“Harvey Bell (12/08/2005) of Bennett Drive, Knutsford, has been charged with assault, dangerous driving and possession of a class B drug.

He has been remanded to appear at Manchester & Salford Magistrates Court today (Tuesday 28 January 2025).

The charges come after one of our officers was seriously injured during an incident at a retail park on Wilmslow Road, Cheadle on Saturday 25 January.

Superintendent Rick Arthern, of our Stockport District, said: “This was a truly terrifying incident for a frontline officer to go through, so I am delighted to secure these charges, which show that assaults on our officers are completely unacceptable.

“The officer is at home recovering and as the hardworking dedicated officer she is, she wants to return as soon as possible to protect her community.

“The vehicle used to run the officer over remains outstanding and we are asking for any information to assist in locating the vehicle.
