A teenager who mowed down an 'exceptional' hero police officer in his aunt's car has today been locked up for two years and seven months.

Harvey Bell, 19, drove the black Audi Q2 straight at PC Tracy Hallworth, who had been called to reports of four males inhaling nitrous oxide balloons in a Sainsbury's car park.

The former supermarket manager - who joined the police in her mid-30s - was knocked down and dragged along the ground, with the car's wheels running over both her legs.

PC Hallworth, who received an officer-of-the year award in 2023, was left unconscious and suffered serous injuries including a dislocated knee and a deep cut to her wrist.

Today the 54-year-old said in a powerful victim personal statement that she was 'simply doing my job' and would 'never forgive' Bell, who was later caught with a bag of cannabis.
