Police Fire at Fleeing Car on Ku'damm Crossing in Wild Chase Through Charlottenburg

In the afternoon, an unmarked police car attempted to pull over a vehicle on Uhlandstraße, which crosses the Kurfürstendamm shopping mile in Charlottenburg. The driver refused to stop and fled, mounting kerbs and driving over pavements while pedestrians leapt out of the way. The driver made several turning manoeuvres allegedly aimed at ramming officers. Ten patrol cars were deployed during the chase. A police officer eventually fired a single shot at one of the vehicle's tyres, immobilising it and bringing the pursuit to an end. No pedestrians were injured. The car had struck several parked vehicles and broken through bollards during the flight. Both the male driver and a female passenger were arrested at the scene. Police confirmed both had outstanding arrest warrants and outstanding prison sentences against them, and that falsified documents were found on them.
