A 28-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of the attempted murder of police and a number of other offences.

It's after an incident on Killyglen Road in Larne at around 4:40pm yesterday afternoon.

A red Hyundai car rammed three police vehicles which were parked during a search of a property in the area.

It left one of the officers with a number of non life-threatening injuries.

The 28-year-old was arrested at the scene, but another masked male who was also in the car made off on foot.
