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.
'Courageous policeman'Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe, said: "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."
PC Duncan was married and had a son and a daughter.
He joined the Met in 1990 and worked in Battersea, Hammersmith and Fulham before joining the South-West Traffic Unit in 2004.
According to the Police Roll of Honour Trust website, the last Met officer to die as a result of crime while on duty was PC Gary Andrew Toms in April, 2009.
He was fatally injured attempting to arrest suspects escaping in a vehicle in east London.
Before that, the previous Met officer to die as a result of crime was PC Kulwant Singh Sidhu, who fell through a glass skylight while pursuing suspects in October 1999.
