A police officer has been injured after he was hit by a car while attending a suspected burglary in west London.
The Metropolitan Police was called to Park Road in Uxbridge at 9.45pm on Wednesday after suspects were reportedly spotted breaking into a house.
A local officer who was in plain clothes responded to the call and was struck by a car while at the scene, police said.
The officer, who is in his mid-20s, suffered a broken ankle. He was taken to hospital where is currently receiving treatment.
Police said the driver of the car, a "passing member of the public", was arrested at the scene on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm.
The Met added that at this stage of the investigation they do not believe the officer was injured because he is a police officer.
It comes after another officer, in his late twenties, was taken to hospital with a "serious injury" after being knifed in the arm during a routine stop and search operation in Maida Vale on Tuesday.
Despite his injury the officer is said to have managed to chase and detain the suspect.
Scotland Yard said a man had been charged over the incident.
Mohim Hussain, 40, of Ashmore Road, faces charges of grievous bodily harm with intent, and possession of a knife or blade in a public place. He is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates Court on Thursday.
