Overview

• A Manchester court sentenced 19-year-old Harvey Bell to 31 months in a Young Offenders Institute and disqualified him from driving for two years after he pleaded guilty to dangerous driving causing serious injury and possession of cannabis.
• On January 25, Bell reversed and then accelerated his Audi into PC Tracy Hallworth in a Cheadle supermarket car park, knocking her to the ground and running over her legs.
• PC Hallworth, 54, suffered a dislocated kneecap, a wrist wound and brief loss of consciousness and continues to endure nightmares and heightened apprehension on duty.
• With support from colleagues and her welfare network, PC Hallworth has now returned to full frontline duties protecting the Stockport community.
• Prosecutors built their case using CCTV footage, eyewitness testimony and cell site data, with senior CPS officials warning that attacks using vehicles will attract severe penalties.
