Man Is Subdued with Pepper Spray After He Attacks Police

A man was subdued by pepper spray by police after he attacked police with a spiked metal bar.

The man in question was being followed by a police helicopter for around 30 minutes as he sped away in a stole car in Auckland. When he finally discarded the car where he also left behind a loaded gun, he employed a metal bar on police who attempted to apprehend him.

The drama initially began when the suspect was seen driving in an unsafe manner. However, while police didn’t chase the man they did have a police helicopter watching him from the air.

As police listened in to the helicopter and trailed behind at a distance they saw that the man was driving in an unsafe manner and was seen driving through red lights, going round the roundabout the wrong way and going through road works.

Because of his dangerous actions police then proceeded to follow him where they attempted to pull him over. However, it wasn’t long before the suspect then sped off whereby a police chase ensued.

Once the suspect then discarded the stole vehicle he was driving he was then subdued by the self defense canister after attacking police with a metal bar.

Pepper spray is one form of defense that police departments are turning to when it comes to their protective equipment. Not only is it extremely effective, but it is easy to carry around as well which essentially makes it the perfect device to own when a member of the public or the police want to maximise their safety as they subdue an individual who is intent on harming them.

Being confronted with a metal bar is never a good thing, which is why it’s important for individuals who find themselves the target of an attack to have a form of defense on hand that can protect them and defend them from potential injury.

Those who are confronted with pepper spray will instantly be forced to stop what they are doing as they focus their attention on the stinging pain that the spray canister produces. This essentially is the ideal time for individuals to either make their escape from harm or for members of the police to apprehend their suspect without any further harm.
