Police officer ‘put public at risk’ driving to stop terror attack

A police officer has been accused of dangerous driving after he collided with another car and “caused injury to others” while trying to stop a terrorist stabbing people, a court was told.

PC Paul Fisher, 46, raced to the scene where the convicted terrorist Sudesh Amman was on a rampage with a knife in Streatham High Road in south London on February 2, 2020.

He denies the charge.

The jury at Southwark crown court was told that Fisher, attached to the Metropolitan Police specialist firearms command, drove at up to 80mph just before the crash, and was travelling at about 46mph at the time of the collision.
