Dear resident, 

We are appealing to witnesses, on our website, to a serious injury road traffic collision on the A423, Southam Road.

Officers were called to a disturbance at around 4.37pm yesterday (15/12) in Garners Field.

Three officers attended the scene and a 49-year-old man from Sandwell was arrested on suspicion of affray, possession of an offensive weapon in a public place and threats to kill.

During the incident, an unrelated vehicle collided with two Thames Valley Police officers and the detained man.

The two officers and the detained man were taken to hospital for treatment. One officer has since been discharged from hospital.

We would also appeal to anybody witnessed the incident, has dash-cam footage or any information, to please get in touch by calling 101, or making an online report, quoting 43240606320.

We are also reaching out to anyone who saw a man with a backpack in the area, or surrounding areas, earlier that day.
