A NEWPORT man has been arrested following an incident in Cardiff in which a driver crashed into a police car, drove on a pavement and up a verge and then drove at police officers.

The incident occurred in the Albany Road area on Tuesday, June 22.

A spokesman from South Wales Police said: "At around 2.10pm [on June 22] a silver Suzuki Alto collided with a marked police vehicle and then drove off into Waterloo Road where it mounted the pavement, drove onto the grass verge and then travelled at speed towards police officers.

"Further reports of members of the public being rammed by the silver Suzuki on the A48 and M4 were received following this incident in Cardiff. No-one was injured."

The Suzuki was located in another area later the same day, and a 27-year-old man from Newport was arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving and failing to stop at the scene of an accident.
