A man who mowed down an armed police officer who had been trying to stop his car has been jailed.
Aydin Altun, 26, drove his Mercedes at PC Lewis Crowder in Tottenham, north London, on 29 October last year.
The officer clung on to the bonnet for a split-second before throwing himself from the vehicle.
Altun, of Suffolk Road, Tottenham, was jailed for 11 years and nine months having previously been found guilty of attempted GBH with intent.
An Old Bailey jury cleared him of attempted murder.
