Written by on 29/05/2018

A policeman is in hospital with serious injuries after trying to stop a trio of motorcyclists.

The officer was injured in a road traffic collision while on duty in the high street area of Aldeburgh, Suffolk, around 4pm on Bank Holiday Monday.

Suffolk Police said in a statement: “Two of the riders failed to stop and an extensive search took place to find the suspects.

“Two people were subsequently arrested.”

It is unclear what happened to the third rider, or if the two who were arrested were those who failed to stop.

The police officer was taken to the James Paget Hospital in Gorleston.

He is suffering from leg injuries which have been described as serious but not life-threatening.

Suffolk Police has asked anyone who witnessed the incident to call them on 101 quoting CAD 280.
