Police sergeant Simon Schembri will be resuming duty within the police force as from Wednesday, months after a horrific hit-and-run incident, the police said.

In a post on Facebook, the police said PS Schembri will be helping the Community and Media Relations Unit, particularly through school visits and talks.

Named Officer of the Year in January, the 48-year-old traffic policeman lost an arm in 2018 when he was dragged several metres under a car in a hit-and-run after he tried to stop 17-year-old Liam Debono, who was speeding.

The youth stands charged with attempted murder and is out on bail after pleading not guilty to the charges.
