A Metropolitan Police traffic officer who was hurt in a hit-and-run incident in south London has died.
PC Andrew Duncan was on foot when he tried to stop a car in Sutton at 00:50 BST on Friday but the vehicle struck him.
The father-of-two died in hospital in the early hours, the Met said.
A 25-year-old man arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury while dangerous driving has now been arrested on suspicion of murder.
The incident, which involved a black Volkswagen Golf, happened on Reigate Avenue with the junction of Rose Hill.
The vehicle was later found abandoned nearby.
The 47-year-old officer and a police colleague were carrying out speed checks in the area at the time.
Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe, said: "I was so sad to hear that PC Andrew Duncan died this morning.
"On behalf of the Metropolitan Police family, I would like to offer my sincere condolences to his wife and children, parents, family and friends.
"Andy was a hard working and courageous policeman. He served the community as both a police officer and as a Scouting volunteer.
"The night he was injured, he was doing a job that he loved and we all had every right to expect he would return safely to his home and family - tragically that was not the case."
