Man drove on wrong side of the road and through a red light, police allege

A man allegedly involved in a road-rage incident led police on a chase three days later, driving on the wrong side of the road and running a red light, police allege.

ACT Policing said they arrested the 34-year-old Calwell man, whose bail conditions included not to drive a motor vehicle, on Monday afternoon.

Police allege the man was involved in a road rage incident on Athllon Drive, Wanniassa about 8.30pm on Monday, October 25, when another driver was verbally abused and had the keys to their car stolen.

Police say officers saw the man driving on London Circuit and Theatre Lane on Thursday morning, before parking his car and walking across Northbourne Avenue.

They say he retured to his vehicle that afternoon, and the man refused to stop when officers told him to, driving away on the wrong side of the road and going through a red light.

Officers arrested the man in Knowles Place, Canberra City on Monday.

The man is expected to face the ACT Magistrates Court on Tuesday, when he will face three counts of driving while disqualified, failing to stop a motor vehicle for police, dangerous driving, and using an unregistered vehicle.
