Police in Vyškovsko detained a driver with a court ban after he left his passenger and fled from officers. Officers saw the man behind the wheel of an older Opel despite having a ban on driving. In earlier checks, he had also tested positive for drugs, police said. To stop him, police blocked his way with an official vehicle and tried to carry out a roadside check. The driver allegedly tried to push through the police car. When that failed, he began reversing toward a local stadium. He stopped there briefly, allegedly got out and left the passenger behind, then continued driving away. The escape did not last. After a few minutes, the driver damaged his vehicle badly enough that he had to stop. He then allegedly tried to run on foot from the patrol. Police caught him after only a few metres and detained him. He is suspected of violence against an official and of obstructing the performance of an official decision. The suspect was taken into police custody for questioning.
