A man has been arrested following a crash outside King’s College London’s Stamford Street student accommodation.

The accident occurred at around 3.45pm on June 3rd, when City of London officers in unmarked police cars chased a vehicle which had previously failed to stop on Farringdon Street.

In an attempt to stop the car, the two police cars were rammed, leading to one being overturned and severely damaged before the suspected vehicle was brought to a halt after mounting the pavement.
