Four policemen in hospital overnight after car chase

A 58-year-old man has been arrested after a car chase that started on the Hillerød motorway north of Copenhagen and ended in Copenhagen overnight Wednesday. Four officers have been taken to hospital after collisions. No one was seriously injured. Along the way, the 58-year-old managed to hit several cars on Jagtvej in Nørrebro in Copenhagen, according to Copenhagen Police Duty Officer Stefan Ladeby. “The police have been chasing the vehicle at high speed….As police attempt to stop the vehicle, it hits a police car, a parked car and another patrol car,” Ladeby said. The car chase started at approximately 00:40 and ended barely 30 minutes later. The man is not already known to the police. Ladeby expects the man to be produced in remand court on Wednesday. In connection with the incident, Jagtvej in Copenhagen has been blocked overnight, but was open again around five o’clock on Wednesday morning. /ritzau/
