ALMOST £7,000 has been raised for a police officer who suffered a "terrible accident" while on duty.

The officer was chasing a suspected burglar when he fell through a roof in Shipley.

He has been left badly injured as a result.  

Thousands of pounds has been raised so far with one donor saying: "You’re a brave police officer looking after a wider community. Hope And pray you recover soon."

Many well-wishers sent him their hopes of a "speedy recovery".

The money will be used to support PC Haxby and the family.

Anyone who wishes to donate money can do so via the Just Giving page here.
