8 June 2020
Police attempted to stop an unlicensed and forbidden driver on the Kaitangata Highway at ten-past-11 last night.
The car was pursued by police for about 500-metres before the driver stopped and fled on foot.
They say a 19-year-old, who was one of three passengers in the car, then moved into the driver's seat and reversed into a police car before driving away.
He's due to appear in the Dunedin District Court on Tuesday, for failing to stop and reckless driving.
