The incident began at about 4pm on Tuesday, when an officer from the New Territories North regional crime unit approached a man in a goods van at a petrol station on Fuk Hang Tsuen Road. The van had been reported stolen in Sham Shui Po on February 10.

The suspect immediately sped off, hitting two taxis and roaring down Castle Peak Road and Tuen Mun Road.

The officer was lightly injured as he tried to dodge the vehicle.
