A fleeing driver repeatedly reversed into a pursuing police car during a chase in Arnold.
A police dog handler was on routine patrol shortly after midnight on Wednesday, March 18, when he spotted a Volvo travelling at speed in the Arnold area.
The vehicle was followed along Mapperley Plains before being pursued around the surrounding streets.
During the pursuit, the police car was damaged after the suspect reversed into it on three separate occasions.
Advanced Armed Response officers then joined the chase and brought the vehicle to a tactical stop on Woodborough Road.
A 21-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving, failing to stop, drink driving, theft, and criminal damage.
Inspector Chris Chell, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “The vehicle he was driving was found to have been stolen and was travelling on false plates.
“The driver of this vehicle put multiple people in danger with his actions, including himself.
“Thanks to the skill and professionalism of all the officers involved, this incident was brought to a swift and safe conclusion.”
