Police fired warning shots before arresting a 34-year-old man wanted on outstanding warrants in Limassol early on Wednesday, after he allegedly tried to escape in his car.
A Crime Prevention Unit (OPE) patrol spotted the man in the New Port area at around 5:30 am, police said. As he tried to drive away, he allegedly crashed into a patrol car and hit an officer who was trying to stop him.
The man resisted and tried to escape, police said.
He is expected to appear in court later on Wednesday, where police will seek a remand order.
