Berlin Police Officer Narrowly Escapes Vehicle Attack During Traffic Stop

A driver in Berlin fled on foot after attempting to run over a police officer and leading authorities on a dangerous car chase.

A police officer in Berlin's Oberschöneweide district had to jump aside to avoid being struck by a car during a late-night traffic stop early Thursday morning.
The vehicle initially slowed down when signaled to stop but suddenly accelerated, driving directly toward the officer.
Police pursued the car through the area, during which the driver violated multiple traffic laws, including running a red light and driving without headlights.
The driver ultimately abandoned the car and fled on foot, evading capture by authorities.
The vehicle was seized by police after consultation with the public prosecutor's office, and investigations into the incident are ongoing.
