Driver tries to evade a traffic control

At around 01:45 am, a patrol car encountered an Opel on the "Bunte Brücke", driven by a young man who was allegedly consuming laughing gas via a balloon while driving. After the officers had turned around, a traffic check was to be carried out on Kaiserstraße at Grimpenwall. The Corsa driver continued, ignored a red light and slowly drove into the "Schladge" car park. Even here, the 18-year-old did not stop despite multiple requests. Suddenly, he turned the car around and quickly drove to the car park exit. At Hermannstraße, he stopped his car and fled on foot. After a short foot chase, he was apprehended by the officers. Upon checking the man in Bückeburg, the officers found that he had participated in road traffic under the influence of intoxicating substances. There are also doubts as to whether the young adult possesses a valid driving license. At the Minden police station, a doctor took a blood sample from the driver.
