They ordered the driver to stop, but he ignored the order and drove at high speed towards the police officers.<\/p>\n<p>The officers were able to avoid being hit by jumping out of the way in time. The driver then fled, after which police gave chase.<\/p>\n<p>During the chase, the suspect collided with a parked Toyota Carina. Near Rosastraat, officers saw him throw an object from the vehicle before continuing to drive. On Pietgrasweg, he caused another collision, this time with a stationary Toyota Mark X.<\/p>\n<p>Due to the damage to his vehicle, L.K. was ultimately unable to continue driving. He was arrested and handcuffed.<\/p>\n<p>Police then returned to Rosastraat. Acting on a witness&#8217;s indication, a black Zoraki M906 handgun, calibre 9 millimetres, was found on the roadside.
