A driver had a strange chase with police officers on the border between Saxony and Brandenburg. The 46-year-old drove at a very slow speed during the night and was only stopped by the officers after almost an hour, according to the police.
According to the information, police officers in Saxony became aware of the car driving in serpentine lines on the road at a leisurely pace shortly before midnight. They pursued the car all the way to Brandenburg. In Koßdorf near Mühlberg (Elbe-Elster district), the car was stopped by a police car. When the officers confronted the driver, he is said to have driven off again. At walking speed, the car rammed into the police car and finally came to a halt.
According to the police, the driver appeared disoriented and only reacted with a delay when spoken to. Alcohol and drug tests have so far been negative. The extent to which the man may have been under the influence of medication is currently being investigated. The 46-year-old was taken to hospital but was not injured, it was reported. The police officers also remained unharmed. The police estimate the damage caused by the dent to the radio car at 400 euros.
