A POLICE officer was taken to hospital with head injuries after being deliberately run over by two men on a moped.

The incident happened at the junction of Townmead Road and Glenrosa Street at about 11pm on Wednesday June 19.

The PC, who was patrolling the area, was targeted in what police say was an unprovoked attack. A police helicopter was dispatched to hunt for the suspects and one man aged 26 was arrested a short time later. The other suspect remains at large.

Witnesses took to Twitter to describe the scene. Lucy Sollis wrote: "Glenrosa street Fulham, helicopters, police cars street cordoned off...something big has happened."

The arrested man has been bailed until July.
