Two police officers of the DIAS team were injured after an episodic chase in Kefalonia with two minors, who were riding a motorcycle without license plates, in a scene reminiscent of a Hollywood movie.

The event was confirmed earlier and on its spokeswoman EL.AS, Constantia Dimoglidou.

According to what has become known, everything started when during the ordered patrol with two bikes of the police officers of the DIAS team of AT. Argostoli, a suspicious two-wheeler, black in color, with no license plates and on which two young people were riding, was spotted on the Lixouri ring road.

The driver of the two-wheeler, perceiving the policemen’s intention to check him, sped up to escape and while the policemen gave him sound signals to stop, following them on the streets of the city, he made dangerous maneuvers in order to violently interrupt the policemen’s march and passed through the intersections at speed without controlling traffic with the risk of causing an accident.

Five minutes before midnight, at the intersection of Platonos and Andronikos Aravantinou streets, the young driver overturned the bicycle and both perpetrators fled on foot. The passenger was immobilized after a while by one of the policemen, although he resisted. The driver tried to run away and was chased by the other police officer of the DIAS team, who was riding his official motorcycle.

When approached by the police officer, he kicked the official motorcycle causing it to overturn and the police officer to fall to the ground. While the officer was on the ground with his leg trapped, the juvenile pedestrian punched him twice in the helmet and began to run. The police officer was freed, pursued him on foot and after the minor resisted when approached, arrested him.

Subsequently, a patrol car of AT Palikis, which rushed to the scene, brought the two minors to the Police Department and both were arrested for disrespect and violence against officers, while in addition the driver of the motorcycle was arrested for dangerous bodily harm and dangerous driving. It was established that he was driving the bicycle without a driver’s license, while a physical search was conducted and a black metal iron fist was found and confiscated.

In the relevant inspection, moreover, it was verified that the motorcycle is uninsured.

The parents were also arrested

In addition, the four parents of the two minors involved were arrested for violating the section on neglect of supervision of minors.

As a result of the incident, the two police officers were taken to the Lixouri hospital, one suffered a sprained left ankle and an injury to the right knee and was admitted to the Argostoli hospital, while the other was found to have suffered a muscle contusion.

The driver of the motorcycle was also taken to the hospital under guard, where he remains for precautionary reasons.
