One person was taken into custody after a vehicle fled police in Auckland CBD this afternoon.
A police spokesperson said the incident began when officers spotted a "vehicle of interest" at about 3.15pm on Daldy St.
They signalled for the driver to stop – but instead, the vehicle "fled the scene at speed".
The Police Eagle helicopter was called in to monitor the vehicle. Officers on the ground did not pursue.
"The driver reversed the vehicle at times and drove the wrong way down several streets in the CBD, as police attempted to spike the vehicle," a police spokesperson said in a statement.
"During this time the vehicle hit the back of a bus and clipped three other vehicles. Thankfully, there were no injuries.
"The driver eventually spun the vehicle out on Mayoral Drive and was taken into custody without incident.
"Police are considering charges."
Video from the scene of the spin out shows a man being held to the ground by police officers.
Passersby watch as he appears to have his hands restrained behind his back.
