A man has been charged after a police officer was hit by a car in Wrexham.

Police have said a 24-year-old man from Shotton has been charged with assault and drink driving following an incident in the town last month.

He is due to appear before Mold Magistrates Court on May 7 in connection with the incident.

It follows an incident in the early hours of Saturday, April 20 on Town Hill in the town centre.

Police said an officer was ‘struck by a car’ at about 12.45am.

No details were issued as to whether the officer suffered any injuries as a result of the incident.

A witness appeal was launched following the incident, with people asked to call police on 101 with information.
