Constable Anthony Woods, 28, died after the incident in Ascot within the metropolis’s east, WA Police introduced on Sunday night time.
“Constable Anthony Woods exemplified the values of the WA Police Power, and his reminiscence will probably be endlessly etched in our hearts,” the organisation stated in an announcement.
“WA Police prolong heartfelt condolences to Anthony’s household, colleagues and all those that knew and liked him.”
Woods and his companion had been making an attempt to arrest the occupants of an allegedly stolen automobile when the motive force allegedly hit, reversed over after which dragged the officer for as much as 20 metres, earlier than pinning him underneath the automobile.
A 23-year-old Belmont man, Reagan Ainsley Chown, was on Friday charged over the incident and is behind bars.
Two others within the automobile, a 20-year-old girl and a 25-year-old man have been launched pending additional investigation.
Woods’ colleagues used a close-by resident’s automobile jack to elevate the automobile off him.
He suffered chest accidents and was rushed to hospital in a important situation.
He is the 88th Western Australian police officer to die within the line of responsibility. The final dying within the power was November 2020.
