40-year-old Briton was arrested at his home in Manilva

40-year-old Briton was arrested at his home in Manilva last week accused of running over a Guardia Civil officer at the border with Gibraltar. The man allegedly drove off in his convertible Porsche Carrera after being asked to pull over at the vehicle checkpoint. The officer jumped onto the rear bumper of the Porsche in an attempt to stop him and clung on for almost a kilometre but jumped off when her realised the car was not going to slow down. He was taken to hospital with several injuries. The incident happened several days before the man was tracked down to Manilva. A Guardia Civil spokesman said the man is known to Spanish authorities, having been involved in tobacco smuggling from Gibraltar to Spain in the past.
