Two In Court Over Police Officer Hit-And-Run
A man and woman are to appear in court charged in connection with a hit-and-run incident involving a police officer.
Mohammed Asim, from Queens Cross, is accused of colliding with the police sergeant in Wolverhampton Street on 06 August – leaving the 40-year-old needing hospital treatment for hand and leg injuries – and speeding away from the scene.
Birmingham woman Naila Yasmen, from Highfield Road in Saltley, has also been charged in connection with the incident.
It's alleged the 33-year-old shop worker falsely reported her car – the Volkswagon Golf believed to have struck the officer – as stolen just two hours after the 15:30 collision.
She faces a charge of perverting the course of justice and, alongside factory worker Asim, is scheduled to appear at Dudley Magistrates Court on Wednesday, 21 October.
Detective Constable Pete Miller, from West Midlands Police Force CID, said: "Fortunately the officer escaped with minor injuries and was quickly discharged from hospital - but there is no doubt he could have been seriously hurt."
