Motorists on an Auckland motorway witnessed a dramatic scene after a fleeing driver incident ended with a group of people hugging a child surrounded by police.
One person has been taken into custody after police responded to a fleeing driver incident on the Northwestern Motorway, Avondale, about 4.30pm on Saturday.
Police confirmed the person who was taken into custody was understood to have had a child in the car when they refused to stop.
Photos from the scene show three adults hugging a child who appears not much older than a toddler.
The group is hugging partially through the wire fence on the barrier of the motorway.
