It was at 9 pm on Wednesday evening that a police patrol was to stop and check a car on Scheelegatan in Malmö.

But instead of stopping, the driver increased his speed, collided with a pole and overturned, police spokesman Rickard Lundqvist states.

The driver got out of the car and ran away but could be chased and arrested by the police.

The driver, a man in his 20s, is suspected of drug driving and illegal driving.
