He said the officer had been standing behind the cordon and had signalled to the car to stop before it swerved at the last second and clipped him.
‘He was not breathing properly,’ Mr Goldstein told the Mirror.
‘He said ‘please help me’. He was kneeling onto the other officer and then went back on to the ground. I then supported his back with my body so he could open his zip.
‘He was lucky. He could’ve died. He was screaming and crying.’
London Ambulance Service took over at the scene.
