Two men are due in court on Tuesday after three police officers were injured as they foiled an armed robbery in Co Armagh.
They were involved in a struggle with two masked men carrying batons and an imitation firearm at a garage on Avenue Road, Lurgan, on Sunday night.
The two men, aged 29 and 36, were arrested and charged with robbery, assault on police and resisting police.
The 29-year-old was also charged with obstructing police and possession of a firearm in suspicious circumstances. The 36-year-old has also been charged with possession of an offensive weapon in a public place.
Chief Inspector Anthony McNally, Craigavon area commander, praised his officers’ bravery during the incident.
He said: “This is just one excellent example of local officers providing the personal service the community has asked for. The officers involved are to be commended for their swift and brave action which has resulted in the arrest of two males.
“I would also like to thank the community for their support which assists us in responding to and tackling crimes of this nature.”
A spokeswoman for the PSNI said the two suspects were assisting police with their inquiries.
