A 19-year-old man has been charged with assault after a police officer was seriously injured when she was hit by a vehicle.
Harvey Bell, of Knutsford, has also been charged with dangerous driving and possession of a Class B drug after the officer was struck at a retail park on Wilsmlow Road in Cheadle, Stockport on Saturday.
Superintendent Rick Arthern of Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said the officer was recovering at home after the “truly terrifying incident”.
Mr Bell is set to appear before Manchester and Salford Magistrates Court later.
Detectives are still trying to track down the Black Audi used to run over the officer at the retail park at about 23:55 GMT, and have urged anyone who may have seen the incident to get in touch.
Supt Arthern said the force as “delighted to secure these charge, which show that assaults on our officers are completely unacceptable”.
“This was a truly terrifying incident for a frontline officer to go through.”
