 David Tucker, District Officer, Redcliffe Police District. What happened this afternoon? Basically, just shortly before one o'clock this afternoon, there was an incident at Deception Bay where a police car on ordinary patrols was actually rammed from behind. As a result of that, the police car called up for ambulance assistance because one of the officers was actually injured and that officer has been taken to hospital with some suspected back injuries. Subsequent to that, police have actually attended a Dalton Street address at Redcliffe and on attending the Dalton Street address, police have actually approached the dwelling. As they've approached the dwelling, a vehicle at the dwelling has actually come out of the dwelling and has actually collected three police officers. Those police officers was actually hit in the leg area and hit the ground rather heavily. He's currently in hospital, being checked over with a neck brace on his neck. Another officer was actually dragged by the vehicle and a third officer received some injuries when part of the fence at the residence was actually destroyed. The vehicle on coming out has actually hit another vehicle and the driver of that vehicle has been checked over by the Queensland Ambulance Service. A power pole was hit, another police car was hit, a police officer in that car, that vehicle was stationary. He's received some minor injuries as well and has been taken to hospital. The offending vehicle is then driven into a power pole and as a result two persons, one male and one female, have been taken into custody. Are these officers lucky to be alive? Look, it was an extremely dangerous situation that they found themselves faced with. Obviously, I would have preferred that none of my officers were injured. It's very sad that we're in this situation where we again have police officers that have been injured in the line of duty. It's something, I guess, that is part of our job. I don't accept that it's something that's inevitable but it's something that worries each and every member of the police family every single day. Was it so dangerous that they couldn't have been killed? Well, yeah, very potentially. Obviously, even with the injuries have been dragged, you can understand how close they were to this particular vehicle. The matter is being fully investigated at this point in time. Staff from Ethical Standards Command as well as the North Coast Regional Office are here at the moment and are participating in the overall investigation. That investigation will take quite some time as to the exact circumstances of what's actually occurred here today. Just to confirm those numbers. Is it before that who have been injured and one in hospital? I think you mentioned more in hospital. There's actually five officers in total. One from the Deception Bay incident and four officers from this particular incident making a total of five with varying injuries. And two of them in hospital? They've all been taken to hospital at this point in time to be checked over as to whether they'll be staying in hospital. It's too early at this point in time. So can we describe the injuries as minor or serious? I'm not in a position at this point in time to actually give a definitive as to what the injuries are. The update that I had that it was about an hour ago was that they were still being checked over by medical staff. And what sort of speeds are we looking at? The car that's gone into the pole, is it just a little dent or is it completely wrecked? There's quite significant damage to the vehicle as to what speeds involved. That's part of the overall investigation as well. And as I say it's going to be quite some time before we actually sort that out. We've got a forensic crash unit here as well that are part of the overall investigation. That's correct Jess. Do we have a road or a street name to that one? Phillip Parade at Deception Bay. Okay come to a house here on Dalton Street to investigate where the car was backed onto the four offices? Three offices and one in the car, another one in the car stationary police vehicle. And then the car continued out when it hit the electric pole? Correct Jess. And a civilian was also hit? I believe that there was a civilian in one of the vehicles and that received some injury so he was checked over by the QAS but I don't have any update as to what the status is with that person. That's correct Jess. So no charges? No charges at this point in time. As I say it's part of the overall investigation as to what has actually occurred. Obviously it's quite a complex issue at this point in time. The incident occurred at one o'clock, we're up to about 24 now. It'll be a number of hours by the time that this investigation is concluded. Did they reverse out of the driveway at high speed? Again that'll be part of the overall investigation. But it was quickly or? Again I wasn't there so I can't describe it. Are these people known to police? Again that's part of the investigation as to whether they're actually known to police and as to what the circumstances were. And are they the only two involved aside from everyone else who's run into? Are they the only two involved in the crimes I think? Yes. And approximately how many cars damaged? I've got no idea at this point in time. There's a couple of police cars that have actually been damaged but as to the extent of that damage I'm unsure. There's a lot of police here, are you treating this as a major incident? We're investigating it thoroughly. And I guess that's important that we actually do investigate it thoroughly and that's part of the reason why Ethical Standards Commander here to actually overview the whole of the situation. And in particular because of the fact that police officers have been injured. Do we have any indication of when this truth will be open? No, not at this point in time. Thank you.
