A police car and two other vehicles were struck when a vehicle was being driven in a “dangerous manner” through Auckland this morning.
Police received a report of a family harm-related matter at an address on Woodward Ave in Māngere Bridge at around 10.50am.
Inspector Kelly Joyce said police were advised both parties were inside a vehicle.
“On arrival, a police patrol vehicle has been struck by the offending vehicle when it fled the address at speed.”
Police initiated a short pursuit until the police air support unit was overhead and able to observe, she said.
“The vehicle has been driven in a dangerous manner through Auckland, hitting two vehicles belonging to members of the public.”
No one was injured.
Joyce said the vehicle continued to LynnMall Shopping Centre where it came to a stop in the underground carpark.
“The two people inside the vehicle have fled on foot and a foot chase has ensued.”
The pair were taken into custody and inquiries were ongoing, she added.
