A 29-year-old man from Mosta was arrested by the police today after a car chase and the use of pepper spray to get him out of the vehicle.

The police explained that they were alerted that a car was being driven dangerously at Hal Far. When units of the Mobile Squad went there, the car was driven dangerously at them and the driver ignored orders to stop.

The police eventually managed to stop the car but the driver refused to get out of the vehicle. After a warning, pepper spray was used and he came out on his own, the police said.

He was aggressive even while being arrested and kicked a police car, the police said.

Units from the Administrative Law Enforcement section and Birzebbuga station were also involved in the operation.
