A man runs over a police officer with a stolen car and goes on the run in Madrid
The National Police have arrested a 28-year-old man accused of dragging an off-duty agent on the hood of a stolen car who stopped him after a collision with his vehicle on the M-40, an event after which he fled, which ended when he was arrested in the Madrid district of Retiro.
The events occurred around ten o'clock at night last Saturday when on the M-40, near Puente de Vallecas, a car hit another in the rear and left the place, police sources have informed EFE..
Two off-duty national policemen were circulating in the hit vehicle, who followed the fugitive until they reached Avenida del Mediterráneo, in Retiro, where one of the agents got out of the car and stopped the other driver, identifying himself as a policeman..
However, the fugitive accelerated and dragged the agent several meters on the hood, who ended up falling onto the road after swerving.
The driver fled again and, given the notice of the police couple at 091, a pursuit of several patrol cars began through the streets of the district, where on several occasions the fugitive, who was driving a stolen car, endangered the physical integrity of drivers and pedestrians..
At a red light, the agents managed to open the door and remove the driver from the vehicle, after which they had to reduce him due to the strong resistance he put up against his arrest.
In fact, two police officers were treated by Samur-Civil Protection and transferred to the Gregorio Marañón hospital for injuries sustained during the intervention.
The agents verified that the arrested man had an arrest warrant in force and imprisonment for the crime of robbery with force.
