Hong Kong driver pinned to ground after Mercedes hits 4 vehicles in wild ride

Officers pinned a driver to the ground on a busy Hong Kong street on Tuesday evening after his car hit four other vehicles, including a police van.

The drama unfolded at about 9.19pm when a police patrol van spotted a suspicious Mercedes-Benz parked near 178 Portland Street in Mong Kok.

Officers approached to investigate but the car suddenly sped off. Police gave chase.

At the end of the street, a distance of about 80 metres (262 feet), the car was blocked by traffic waiting at a red light outside the Langham Place shopping centre.

The driver attempted to manoeuvre the Mercedes out of the jam but hit four other vehicles, including the police van in pursuit.

Officers were seen smashing the car’s windows in a bid to order the driver out. He was then subdued on the pavement.
