Police Officers Injured In Kidderminster - Update Two police officers injured during an incident in Kidderminster this morning, Tuesday 11th June, have been released from hospital. The two male PCs were first on the scene after a report was received from a member of the public of two men acting suspiciously in an alleyway in Stoney Lane, near the Tesco Express in Stourbridge Road at around 9.30am. An Audi was reversed into their police van, pinning one officer between the two vehicles. He sustained a chipped knee bone, while the driver of the van sustained superficial cuts and bruises. Following X-rays and treatment at hospital they were released this afternoon. Three Wolverhampton men in their 20s have been arrested for attempted murder and conspiracy to commit robbery. The other two are in custody at Kidderminster police station, and the third, who is suspected of being the driver of the Audi, is being treated in hospital for a head injury and chest pain. Superintendent Kevin Purcell of West Mercia Police said: “The officers were extremely lucky not to have been more seriously injured. “This incident demonstrates the unpredictable nature of the job, and the risks they face on a daily basis. “A large number of people saw police activity in Kidderminster, and we hope the fact that three suspects were quickly arrested will reassure them. We are very grateful to those who assisted police by providing information. “Any other witnesses who have not already spoken to officers are asked to contact Kidderminster CID on the force’s non-emergency number 101 quoting incident 117-s-110613 or ring the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.” Staff and pupils at Holy Trinity International School were asked to stay locked inside for a short time as a precaution, and parents are being asked to collect children this afternoon using the main entrance in Birmingham Road rather than the rear Albert Road entrance
