When the officers informed the Warwick man of the outstanding warrant and placed him under arrest, he fled on foot.“The escapee was later seen in the vicinity getting into a silver car which accelerated away. A police officer was standing in the path of the vehicle and despite jumping out of the way, was struck and injured as the car left the area.”The spokesman added: “As a result, a search warrant was conducted at a Spice Berry Lane, Warwick residence around 7.45am on Saturday, October 15.
