Man in helmet charged at car

A 20-year-old who put on a crash helmet and then threw himself at a car in John Wilson Ocean Dr is being spoken to by police.

"He put on a helmet and charged at another guy’s vehicle," Senior Sergeant Craig Dinnissen, of Dunedin, said.

"He just ran into it."

The incident happened last Friday night.

He said the car owner got out of his car — a Fiat Uno — and "encouraged" the man to leave.

Both parties left John Wilson Ocean Dr, but about 10 minutes later in nearby Prince Albert Rd the Fiat was rammed by a white vehicle which was believed to be driven by the 20-year-old.

Snr Sgt Dinnissen said no-one was injured, but the incident was bewildering.

It was not known what sparked the incident. Inquiries were continuing, he said.
