A police officer in Suffolk is to appear in court to be charged with dangerous driving and assaulting a cyclist in connection with an incident that took place in Ipswich in February.
The charges follow an investigation by Suffolk Constabulary after a complaint was received from the 25-year-old male cyclist relating to an incident on the afternoon of Friday 14 February on Norwich Road, reports the Ipswich Star.
The bike rider who said that he had been knocked from his bike by a motorist, followed by a physical altercation, according to the newspaper.
