North East Derbyshire Response tweeted about the incident in Killamarsh on Sunday morning.

They said: “North East Derbyshire's most wanted suspect drives past us. Stopped and kicks off when arrested.

"Assaults 2 Officers and kicks the police car door bending it and damaging it. Another vehicle now out of action but male now on his way to Custody. #ProtectTheProtectors.”

Officers say the damage caused to the door of the police vehicle meant it was bent out of shape and could potentially be forced open if not rectified.
