A policeman was dragged along on a car bonnet for over half a mile as the motorist tried to make his escape.
The driver had been asked to pull over by police officers but would not stop for them and allegedly drove straight at one of the officer He Mingdao, forcing him to hold on to the car while he feared for his life.
The drama, in Anhui Province in the east of China, continued for over half a mile until another policeman caught the car and was able to help his colleague.
Officer He was not seriously injured but he said: “I asked him to pull over, but he screamed at me in the car, pointed at me and ignored me.
“The driver then jerked the steering wheel, so the car’s off-front wheel ran against my leg, forcing me to clinch to the engine hood.
“He then sped up, so I had to firmly clutch to the hood and dared not move. So I was dragged on the hood for one kilometre.”
