An attempted murder case against a drug dealer that ran over a cop investigating organised crime could land him in jail for years.
Wenjie, age 49, intentionally ignored directions to leave his car and sent the officer flying in the skies over Glasgow.
On Thursday, he was found guilty of attempted murder by the High Court at Paisley in Scotland.
Yu, along with Wang Wen (31), was found guilty of drug offences.
According to the court, police were looking into organised drug crimes in Glasgow’s West End, when a suspicious vehicle was discovered in Devonshire Gardens Lane in Hyndland on July 21, last year.
Officers approached the car to ask the passengers and driver to leave the vehicle.
Yu, however, ignored all instructions and drove into Neil Kerr (37-year-old Police Constable) who was then thrown to the Mercedes’ front.
Wenjie Yu, 49, was convicted of attempted murder and drugs offences at Scotland’s High Court following the incident in Glasgow on July 21 last year
PC Neil Kerr told a jury at the High Court in Paisley about being run over by a silver Mercedes in a back lane off Hyndland Road in the West End of Glasgow
PC Kerr sustained serious injuries to his head and legs that needed treatment at the hospital.
Speaking after the conviction, Detective Chief Inspector John Morrison, of Police Scotland’s Serious and Organised Crime Unit, described Yu as a ‘very dangerous man’.
He stated that Yu had deliberately caused Yu to cause serious injury to an officer who was doing his job.
“Thankfully, he was able to recover and return to duty. This is an indication of his determination to fight organised crime.
“Yu” is clearly dangerous and his conviction sends the message that officers are not to be assaulted.
Both the driver and passenger did not follow police instructions to get out of their Mercedes prior to the incident.
CCTV recorded the moment PC Kerr’s vehicle struck him, before sending him flying in the air.
An officer sustained serious head and leg injuries which needed hospital treatment.
“Over the past several years, there have been increasing reports of assaults against officers and staff.
“This could cause psychological and physical harm to dedicated public servants. It should be avoided.
The Chief Constable Iain Livingstone stated that violence against employees and officers was absolutely unacceptable. This should be understood as a serious offense and not a normal part of their job.
“He stated that he has committed to decreasing the violence against our police officers and personnel and to taking steps to increase their safety.
