Three officers were injured after a police car was rammed in Co Armagh.
Two of the officers were unable to continue to work their shift following the incident in the Tullyneill Road area of Newtownhamilton on Friday evening.
It came as the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) were alerted that a man, who made off from An Garda Siochana officers in the Irish Republic, had crossed the border into Northern Ireland.
