A driver has been arrested in eastern Madrid, between Torrejón de Ardoz and San Fernando de Henares, after ramming a Civil Guard motorcyclist and fleeing against traffic on the A-2 highway.

The incident occurred on Tuesday morning, around 10:00 AM, when Civil Guard agents spotted a suspicious vehicle and signaled it to stop. However, the driver accelerated and fled, even driving in the wrong direction on the highway.
During the pursuit, which involved two Civil Guard Traffic motorcyclists, the fugitive rammed one of the officers, who had to swerve to avoid a more serious impact. The other officer continued the chase until the suspect stopped his vehicle, pretending to surrender.
Nevertheless, the driver acted violently again, waiting for the officer to pass by and then ramming him, causing him to fall onto the road. Finally, the vehicle was intercepted near the M-21, where the individual was arrested.

"We wish our fellow motorcyclists from the Paracuellos del Jarama Detachment a swift recovery from the injuries inflicted by a criminal who rammed their official motorcycles. Congratulations on the arrest of the perpetrator and the seizure of the weapons he was carrying."
