As stated by Acting Detective Sergeant Karli Whiu:
A 44-year-old woman has been arrested following a fleeing driver incident in Napier earlier this week.
At around 10:15am on Monday a silver Holden Commodore fled from Police in Maraenui while staff were speaking with the driver.
Police subsequently activated lights and sirens, signalling for the driver to pull over.
The driver of the vehicle failed to stop and staff did not continue to pursue.
The offending vehicle has continued to drive in a dangerous manner and has driven towards multiple Police staff parked on the side of the road, before ramming a patrol vehicle on Longfellow Avenue.
The Police officer in the patrol vehicle received moderate injuries.
The offending driver has got out of the silver Holden and got into a gold Nissan Tiida nearby.
The gold Nissan failed to stop for Police when signalled, and staff did not engage in a pursuit due to the dangerous driving manner of the vehicle.
