Dramatic CCTV footage has surfaced from China showing a driver run down a police officer and drive with him on the bonnet (hood) for hundreds of metres.

In the video, which was filmed earlier this month in Shangdong Province, two police officers can been seen talking to the driver of a white car. Suddenly, the driver makes a break for it and drives straight into one of the officers, carrying him along on the bonnet of the vehicle for 5-hundred metres.

A second officer on a motorbike managed to stop the driver, who was found to be in possession of several fake licenses and a crossbow, according to Chinese police.
