Overview
- Two uniformed officers were knocked down when a van was deliberately driven at them while they were carrying out enquiries at a property on Glen Avenue in Larkhall, and both were taken to hospital with serious injuries.
- Police identified the injured officers as men aged 41 and 43, with the 41-year-old released from hospital and the 43-year-old remaining in a stable condition.
- Officers recovered the van in Kirkstyle Place, Glassford, and are treating the case as attempted murder while actively hunting the driver.
- Detectives have issued a description of the suspect and appealed for witnesses, dashcam footage, and private CCTV and asked the public to contact 101 or Crimestoppers with information.
- The force has increased local patrols and said ongoing enquiries aim to establish the full circumstances, a probe that could lead to criminal charges for the driver if evidence supports it.
