Two police officers were left in a critical condition after they were struck by a car as they were making their way back to their vehicle.

The two Police Constables, based at Brent borough in north west London, were returning to their marked car park on the A406 North Circular Road near Brent Park, Neasden, at around 3.40am on Sunday, when the collision occurred, Scotland Yard said.

Three people, including the driver of the car, were arrested at the scene. The officers are in a critical condition in hospital with their next of kin in attendance.
