A manhunt is under way a person from a fleeing vehicle that tore through the streets of Christchurch this morning.
Police say they tried to pull over a car around 8.30am on Wainui St, but the driver fled.
Officers quickly abandoned the chase due to the manner of driving, police said.
A witness said he was almost hit by a brown Ford Falcon driving up the wrong side of Blenheim Rd - a major arterial.
Police say the car crashed into a parked vehicle on Middleton Rd, and the driver and a passenger fled on foot.
