Officers from the Local Police of Malaga have arrested a 35-year-old individual as the alleged perpetrator of several crimes. These include two against road safety: driving without a license and driving with manifest recklessness. He is also charged with offenses against the Administration of Justice for breach of sentence, disobedience, and resistance to authority.

The events occurred last Thursday, June 4th, when a patrol attempted to stop the van driven by the detainee. The individual ignored the officers' instructions and fled at high speed after running a red light at the intersection of Calle Salamanca and Calle Cruz del Molinillo. A pursuit then began, involving several police vehicles with activated acoustic and luminous signals.

During the escape, the driver committed numerous serious infractions, such as driving in the wrong direction, running several red lights, and speeding through pedestrian streets like Huerto de Monjas, forcing pedestrians to move aside. The danger extended to crowded areas such as Avenida de las Américas and Plaza de la Solidaridad.

Finally, the vehicle was intercepted on Calle Pedro Alonso García, where two patrol cars blocked its path. The driver attempted to flee on foot, being apprehended by officers as he tried to hide under a parked car, offering strong active resistance.

Inside the van were three other passengers: a 4-year-old minor, who was nervous and crying in an approved child seat, and two men aged 22 and 29. The older man, the minor's father, stated that they continuously begged the driver to stop due to fear for their safety and the child's. The father reported trying to activate the handbrake, but the driver prevented him. Another driver also stated he feared for his physical integrity after having to swerve to avoid the van.

Upon identification, it was confirmed that the detainee had an active search and arrest warrant and lacked a driving license due to the total loss of points. The vehicle was impounded by the municipal tow truck. The proceedings have been forwarded to the judicial authority.
