As the sun set over the bustling streets of Camden, a high-speed chase unfolded between the police and a reckless thief, David Doyle. Behind the wheel of a stolen car, Doyle caught the attention of PC Richard Keel, who immediately sprang into action. With sirens blaring and adrenaline pumping, PC Keel raced after Doyle, determined to bring him to justice.
But as the chase intensified, things took a dangerous turn. Doyle, in a desperate attempt to evade capture, reversed towards PC Keel at alarming speeds. The officer, who was on his motorbike, was knocked off and left with significant injuries. Witnesses quickly came to his aid, saving him from further harm before an ambulance arrived. The shocking incident took place on May 17, and the details were later revealed at Harrow Crown Court.

The stolen car was eventually found abandoned a mile away, and CCTV footage and forensic evidence confirmed Doyle's involvement. He was arrested and charged with driving offences and causing grievous bodily harm with intent.
PC Keel, who serves on the Central North Command Unit, expressed his relief that Doyle has been brought to justice for the attack. He also thanked the members of the public who helped him on that fateful day and his supportive colleagues. The Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, Sir Mark Rowley, also praised the bravery of PC Keel and all the officers who put their lives on the line to keep Londoners safe.
Sir Mark Rowley also reminded the public of the dangers that officers face every day, with an alarming statistic that 18 officers are assaulted in the line of duty each day, and two are seriously injured every week. The recent incident with PC Keel is a stark reminder of this reality.
PC Keel's attacker, David Doyle, was sentenced to five and a half years in prison and was also disqualified from driving for 81 months. His actions not only caused harm to PC Keel but also put the lives of the public at risk.
