A very low speed chase took place in Timaru this morning, with police pursuing an elderly man who refused to pull over his mobility scooter.
The incident, which happened on Wai-Iti Road, was captured on video by local Aleshia Candy, who was in a car behind, watching and laughing.
The police officer tries several times to get in front of the man and stop him, but he simply rides around the patrol car.
After a few minutes, the chase is finally ended when the police car pulls right in onto a driveway, boxing the man in and leaving with nowhere to go but down a driveway.
It was most notable for the low speeds involved.
The officer can then be seen getting out of his car to pursue the man on foot, onto the grounds of the Wai-Iti Medical Centre.
Police have said that no arrests have been made, and that they are now in the process of gathering details of what happened.
