Dangerous driving suspect detained following police pursuit

Northumbria Police's Road Safety team detained a driver on Tuesday morning (October 26) following multiple sightings of dangerous driving over the course of the last few days in Newcastle and Gateshead.

Officers pursued the driver's Ford Focus, which proceeded to head off-road. After abandoning the vehicle and fleeing on foot the driver was soon detained a short distance away.

Officers were supported by the force's dog section and the National Police Air Service North East region.
