LONDON - Dramatic video showed the moment a man rammed a stolen car into a police officer at a high speed in London.
The driver has been jailed and was recently sentenced, according to the Metropolitan Police.
The department released video of the May 17 incident, showing David Doyle, 17, reversing the car into police constable Richard Keel, who had been pursuing Doyle on a marked motorcycle.

Police said Doyle sped off, and Keel was left with significant injures.
Bystanders helped the office and called the London Ambulance Service.
An investigation was launched that same day and the stolen vehicle and Doyle were found. Doyle was arrested on May 23 and charged with driving offenses causing grievous bodily harm with intent.
This week, Doyle was sentenced to five and a half years’ imprisonment at Harrow Crown Court.
He will also be unable to drive for the next six years.
