The hit-and-run happened as Detective Constable Catherine Corbett and three other West Midlands Police officers tried to arrest a man near Heathrow Airport in west London.

Rashpal Singh, who also faces two counts of actual bodily harm against two male officers - Detective Constables Matthew Millward and Stefan Wojciewszyn - and a dangerous driving charge, appeared at Hendon Magistrates' Court in north west London.

Singh, of Gladstone Street, West Bromwich, spoke to confirm his personal details during the three-minute hearing.

Dc Corbett, 39, of Solihull, West Midlands, remains in a critical condition in the neurological unit at London's Charing Cross Hospital.

No application for bail was made and Singh was remanded into custody to appear at Harrow Crown Court on January 4.

A 32-year-old woman arrested in connection with the incident was released on bail on Sunday night to return to a west London police station at a future date.

The collision happened shortly after 8am on Friday outside the Sheraton Skyline Hotel in Bath Road, on the north perimeter of the airport.

Dc Corbett, who joined West Midlands Police in 1989, suffered serious head injuries in the incident.

The detective, who was awarded a commendation for outstanding work in 1993, had been in London for two days investigating the case.
