On Sunday, October 6, officers from Thames Valley Police in Reading followed the dangerous driver on a pursuit from Bath Road into the Woodley area after evading the police earlier in the evening.

After coming to a dead end on a dirt road, the man attempted to exit the vehicle to escape on foot but was stopped by one of the police dogs on duty that night.
