Two men have been jailed after a car was driven at a police officer and pedestrians.
Reham Baluch, 32, of no fixed address was sentenced at Minshull Street Crown Court to seven years in prison for dangerous driving, driving whilst disqualified, aggravated taking of a motor vehicle without consent, section 47 assault and attempted section 18 assault.
Saqib Kader, 27, of Farraday Avenue, Cheetham Hill was sentenced to one year in prison for aggravated taking of a motor vehicle without consent, and he was disqualified from driving for one year.
The court heard how Baluch and Kader assaulted a takeaway delivery driver on Kersal Road in Prestwich at around 11.20pm on Wednesday 16 May 2018, and stole his car.
Officers attended the scene and were speaking to the victim when his car returned, being driven by Baluch.
Police Constable Nina Foran was hit twice by the vehicle as Baluch attempted to flee the scene and a pedestrian was also hit to the floor.
PC Foran suffered an injury to her hand and bruising across her body. The pedestrian was also treated for bruising and cuts.
Detective Constable Keith Holt, from GMP’s Bury Borough, said: “This was completely reckless behaviour by Baluch and Kader and they showed absolutely no regard for the officers or pedestrians involved.
“The manner in which Baluch acted was careless beyond belief, and it is only down to sheer luck that more people weren’t injured.
“Officers put themselves on the line to protect our streets, but they should never be subjected to something like this.
“Baluch has shown no remorse for his actions, but following today’s result he will now have to spend the next seven years in prison facing up to what he has done.”
