Police in Fife arrested a 25-year-old man after a short pursuit in Dunfermline, which ended when officers deployed spike strips to stop the vehicle.
The incident began around 2pm on Thursday, October 22, when police signalled a vehicle to stop on Pitreavie Way. The driver allegedly failed to stop, prompting officers to chase the car for a short time.
Spike strips deployed on Queensferry Road
Officers eventually used a stinger device on Queensferry Road, which brought the vehicle to an abrupt stop. The driver then allegedly fled the scene on foot but was apprehended nearby.
Dramatic video footage shows multiple police vehicles at the scene, with one police car blocking the blue car involved across Queensferry Road. Officers were seen speaking to an occupant within the vehicle, and other pictures show the suspect being detained on a nearby road.
