South of Graz, police are looking for the driver of a ‘bright green’ motorcycle after he fled a checkpoint without a license plate and hit a patrol car.
Shortly before 4pm this Saturday, a police patrol spotted several motorcycles at a petrol station on Feldkirchenstrasse in Kalsdorf, although two of the vehicles had no license plates fitted. When the motorcyclists saw the police officers, the driver of a ‘bright green’ motorcycle fled. The officers then tried to block the escape route by parking their patrol car near the exit. However, despite clear stop signs, the motorcyclist continued to flee. It even hit the patrol car, causing front-end damage.
Scuffle with police officers
A few hundred meters further on, the motorcyclist apparently came to an involuntary stop on a grass verge in the vicinity of a recreation complex (Copacabana) after the engine ‘shut down’. A police officer then jumped out of the patrol car and grabbed the driver by the jacket. Shortly afterwards, however, he managed to escape again after he was able to start the engine and drive away.
The search is underway
No one was injured during this chase. Only the patrol car suffered material damage to the front. Since then, an investigation has been ongoing into the previously unknown driver of the ‘bright green’ motorcycle without a license plate. Video recordings are also evaluated for this purpose.
