Your support makes all the difference.A police officer had to cling onto the bonnet of a car for more than 300m after a taxi driver he accused of a parking violation decided to try to run him over in east China.
The incident, which was caught on CCTV, shows the officer being pushed backwards as he attempts to stop the driver and speak to him about a parking violation he has committed.
The driver was able to escape the officer and Chinese were unable to track him down.
He eventually handed himself into local police and was given three days in detention.
The officer was not injured as a result of the incident.
