A FLEEING driver reversed his car into the side of a police van after being stopped by an officer.
The man was stopped by dog handler PC Russ Magnall in Rochdale Road, Bury, alerted by the way he was driving his car.
A police spokesman said: "The driver put the vehicle into reverse at high speed and into the side of the dog van before driving off."
The car was in collision with a bus stop in Rochdale Road as PC Magnall followed.
A short time later, the car was found abandoned in South Cross Street.
Police are appealing for the owner or the driver of the Vauxhall Carlton to come forward.
