Police have launched investigations into an incident where traffic officers were engaging a motorist in a wild chase.
In a video that has since gone viral across social media platforms, the traffic officers in a National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) branded car are seen trying to block the miscreant motorist before engaging in a dramatic chase.
The motorist who was driving a white car was seen snubbing the officers who were flagging him down on the unnamed road.
“Attention of NPS is drawn to a clip in which a law enforcement patrol vehicle performing traffic duties is seen in a hot pursuit chase of a private saloon car,” the NPS stated.
