THIS is the shocking moment a teen driver suspected of having a knife almost ploughed down a policewoman at speed after cops punched him during a stop.
Cops intercepted the 4X4 black Merc shortly after 9pm in north London following a tip off it was linked to gang activity.
A number of officers surrounded the vehicle on Ashmore road in Kilburn after pulling the driver over.
They smashed a window and attempted to detain the driver but he made off towards Harrow Road, almost colliding with an officer.
A 19-year-old suspect has since been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, the Met confirmed.
A force spokesman said: “At around 21:10hrs on Thursday, 29 September, officers on patrol in the Kilburn area stopped a car in Ashmore Road, W9. This followed intelligence that the car was linked to gang activity.
