Masked police swooped in on the quiet street in Leicester and surrounded a house before a man slowly walked towards them with his arms up.
He was then arrested and put in the back of a police car.
The suspect was one of up to four people taken into custody after a constable was left with serious head injuries after being ‘deliberately’ mown down at 4.30am.
Other images from the scene show multiple men being led into police cars.
The alleged hit-and-run left the policeman ‘screaming in pain’ in the middle of the street.
The incident happened just yards from where two of the three suspects were later arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.
The officer, who is in his 20s, was left with serious head injuries after being hit by a white Mercedes as he tried to stop it.
Mohammed Patel, who saw ‘a commotion’ as he as returning home form a night out at about 4.30am said: ‘I could see someone lying on the ground screaming out in real pain.
‘Police told me to go indoors after asking me who lived where. A few hours later they came back, there must have been 20 armed cops, masked and helmeted, and they arrested three of my next door neighbours.
‘I was shocked because they’re a really nice family and not any trouble makers.
‘They came out one by one, first the two young men who were handcuffed but not resisting and then the woman, their sister, and they were whisked away.’
Decorator Mr Patel, 38, said: ‘We heard a policeman had been run over as he got out of his car to question a suspect about an attack earlier. He was badly injured. It’s very evil.’
Iqbal Valli, a committee member at the All-Masjid & Madrasah Al-Furqan mosque said the suspects were regular worshippers.
He was attending morning prayer as he saw police surrounding a nearby newly built detached home and watched ‘in horror’ as armed cops arrested three of his fellow worshippers.
