A man has been arrested after a low-speed police pursuit through Napier ended with a burning vehicle crashing into a patrol car on Sunday night.
Police received a report of a stolen vehicle from an address on Gloucester St, Taradale, at about 11pm on Sunday.
Police attempted to stop the vehicle near the National Aquarium on Marine Parade at about 11.15pm, by which point the car had been damaged.
A witness, who wished not to be named, said the vehicle had seemingly had his types spiked, as it was "driving on metal".
