A police pursuit in South Auckland has ended with the fleeing vehicle driving into a parked car and catching fire.
The man driving suffered cuts and his female passenger was uninjured in the low-speed crash on Beatty St, Otahuhu about 8.30am.
Counties Manukau police Senior Sergeant Jeremy Field said the pursuit started at 8am, when a motorist on the Southern Motorway reported seeing a woman crying and calling for help from within a moving vehicle.
Police pursued the black sedan through Otara and Otahuhu before it crashed into the red Toyota Yaris and caught fire.
"The driver of the vehicle purposely drove into a parked car," he said.
