Three PSNI vehicles were rammed last night after a man tried to evade arrest in a tractor.
Officers investigating a report of a drink driver in Fivemiletown, Co Tyrone, attended an address in the Tattenabuddagh Lane area in neighbouring Fermanagh just after midnight.
While at the address, a 25-year-old man tried to evade police in a tractor.
He rammed three police vehicles causing extensive damage to the vehicles. Attending officers narrowly avoided injury in the incident.
The driver was later arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.
Detective Inspector Nigel Snoddy said: "This was a reckless and cowardly incident which has left three of our police vehicles off the road affecting our service delivery in the Mid Ulster area. There is also the impact in terms of our officers' welfare, as well as the cost of repairs to the vehicle.
"If it were not for our officers taking evasive action to avoid the oncoming tractor, I have no doubt that officers would have been seriously injured or killed."
Anyone with any information is asked to contact police.
