A dramatic scene unfolded over the weekend in the Campo de Aviación area when a driver attempted to ram into traffic inspectors from the Intendencia during a vehicle checkpoint.
The incident began when a man behind the wheel of a Peugeot refused to stop for inspection, prompting the inspectors to give chase.
With the police hot on his tail, the driver eventually landed in custody and was hauled before the courts.
Charges and Consequences
The suspect now faces charges of assault and property damage, with strict conditions imposed to ensure he doesn’t flee or cause more harm.
