Police on patrol yesterday managed to apprehend a man wanted for breaching bail conditions following a car chase through Sliema that left one officer injured.

A mobile squad unit spotted the man driving through the town at about 11 a.m.. They ordered him to stop but he refused and the police gave chase, trying various times to block him.

At one point he was caught up in traffic, the police said, and an officer ran up to the car and tried to apprehend the man who, however, drove away, also going over the policeman’s foot.

The chase ended in Manuel Dimech Street where he got out of his car and ran away. He was apprehended by police minutes later.
