A man suspected of impersonating a police officer was arrested after allegedly pulling over a car driven by an actual policeman.

The incident unfolded on the M1 in Northern Ireland around 1am on Wednesday when a man driving a car fitted with blue flashing lights stopped the off-duty officer’s car, flashed a fake ID card and challenged him about apparent speeding.
