Police in Derry have seized a vehicle after the driver failed to stop before mounting a kerb close to pedestrians.
The incident happened at around 9.35am on Thursday, when officers on patrol at Southway in the Creggan area were alerted to the way in which a blue BMW was being driven.
They signalled for the driver to stop, but the vehicle continued on through Creggan and mounted a kerb before eventually coming to a halt.
A PSNI spokesperson said there were members of the public in the vicinity at the time.
Police arrested a male who was subsequently given a penalty notice for the offence of obstructing police, and the vehicle was seized.
