A 33 year old man has been charged with a range of driving offences including two counts of attempting to cause grievous bodily harm by dangerous driving, dangerous driving, driving with excess Alcohol, failing to stop for police and driving with no Licence and no Insurance. He is expected to appear at Enniskillen magistrates court this morning, Monday 31 March.
“The charges follow an incident during which police received a report of a vehicle being driven erratically between Clogher and Fivemiletown at around 5.15pm on Saturday 29 March. Officers located the vehicle on the Belfast Road travelling towards Enniskillen, where it failed to stop for police when signalled to do so and made off,” a PSNI spokesperson said.
“The vehicle was again found by police a short time later parked at a jetty on Drumhirk Road, Lisbellaw. As officers approached the vehicle on foot, the car was driven at them forcing two officers to jump clear of its path. The driver then appeared to make a second attempt to strike police with his car before being stopped and arrested.
“As is usual procedure the charges will be reviewed by the PPS.”
