A police officer ‘screamed for help’ after being hit by a car following a stabbing in north London last night, it has been claimed. The officer was responding to reports of a stabbing outside the Manor House station in Finsbury Park when he was reportedly beaten.

Investigations to locate the driver of the car involved in the incident with the officer are ongoing. No arrests have been made. ‘
Community Reverend Efrayim Goldstein said he was one of the first to help around 2 a.m., unbuttoning the officer’s jacket so he could breathe properly.
He said the officer had been standing behind the curb and had instructed the car to stop before it swerved at the last second and struck him.
“He wasn’t breathing properly,” Goldstein told the Mirror.
‘He said’ please help me ‘. He was kneeling over the other officer and then returned to the ground. Then I supported him back with my body so he could unzip him.
‘He was lucky. He could have died. He screamed and cried. ‘
The London Ambulance Service took over the scene.
