A fleeing driver has been pepper sprayed and Tasered after threatening police with a knife in west Auckland on Friday morning.
The 27-year-old failed to stop on Farquhar Rd in Glendene, and police gave chase. His vehicle was spiked on McLeod Rd in Te Atatu.
A 30-year-old passenger with an active warrant attempted to flee, but was arrested.
The driver brandished a knife and was pepper-sprayed. This failed to subdue him, so police used a Taser.
Police say no one was hurt. Both suspects are now in custody and assisting police with their enquiries.
