A man has been arrested after a police officer was dragged along by a vehicle in Cheltenham yesterday afternoon, Tuesday.

Police spotted what they believed was a suspected drink driver returning to a vehicle parked on St James Square at around 3pm.

A police constable stopped the man and asked him to get into the back of a police car in order to request a specimen of breath.

The man got back into his car and as the officer was trying to detain him, he started to drive away.

The officer was dragged along with the car causing him minor injuries.

The man then drove away before crashing his car into parked vehicles and an electricity pylon on a nearby street.

He was followed after running away from the car and tasered by officers.

An 18-year-old man from Buckinghamshire was subsequently arrested on suspicion of assaulting a police officer, dangerous driving and driving while under the influence of drink/drugs.

He remains in police custody at this time for questioning.

A number of road closures were put into place and have since been lifted.

Anyone who was in the area at the time and saw what happened or has mobile phone, CCTV or dashcam footage is asked to get in touch.

Pictures: classics galore at the Little Vintage Show

May has come around once again, and as ever, the Little Vintage show was held at Dursley Road, Cambridge, writes Ian Thomas. We thought that this year there was a good turnout and the weather was perfect on Saturday with sunshine and 21c warmth. Sunday was dry but colder with a keen easterly breeze, but the sun came out later and all was good. All exhibition sections were well represented. The local touch, with Lister stationary engines, plus a Lister mounted onto a bike. Plenty of classic cars and many Gloucestershire registered as well. The commercial section was represented well with local hauliers including Ken Faithfull who operated from Rangeworthy, and a more modern era Listers truck. The classic car section saw not only British, but vehicles from the USA and France. Classic Austins including A30 and A35s were also on show. Tractors were well represented once again, with Massey Ferguson, Fordson and Nuffield on show. Ian used to drive a Nuffield in the late 1960s and early 1970s for George Wilcox at his farm in Dursley - what a memory! Catering was in good supply and the ever-popular 1940s Vintage Tea Room tent set up, which Jill and Ian, and on Sunday Rich and Terry sampled. The Vale of Berkeley Railway had a stall and Peter Watts and Mike Cook from (ex) Pathfinder were selling the silverware. Many friends that we knew from the past and present took up many hours just chatting (like you do), including Martin with his 2.8-litre Ford Capri, Paul Shepard and friends with their motorcycles, and Mike Smith and his very nicely restored Morris Ten Four just to name a few. On Sunday Rich photographed some of the best in class and show receiving their awards in front of the main refreshment area. As ever, many thanks to the organisers and the Stroud Vintage Traction and Engine Club plus all others for all their effort and hard work in putting on a well staged very enjoyable excellent show.
