       The 32-year-old, of Wendover Road, Manchester, has been charged with
       attempted murder and dangerous driving. He was due to appear at
       Manchester Magistrates' Court today (May 8).
        
       Woods was remanded into custody. Chief Superintendent Colette Rose, of
       GMP's Trafford district, said: "On behalf of our officers we'd like to
       thank the local community for their concern and well wishes to our
       injured colleague.
        
       "Everyday our officers respond to incidents with the aim of helping
       the public and keeping them safe and do not expect or deserve to be
       targeted in this way."
