A police officer has been injured after a cop car was rammed during a dramatic pursuit across Auckland.
Shortly before 2pm, police say they received information about a stolen vehicle travelling towards Auckland's CBD on Tamaki Drive.
"The vehicle then failed to stop for police on Quay Street and a pursuit was initiated.
The pursuit was abandoned shortly after due to the manner of driving," police said.
