The incident occurred on the 596th kilometer of the Moscow-St. Petersburg highway. This was reported by the Telegram channel “Mash on the Moika”.
“Traffic police inspectors noticed a suspicious BMW <...> and asked to stop. After a short dialogue, the driver pressed his sneaker into the floor and hit the policeman. And then, using adrenaline and speed, he tried to get rid of the main evidence – a bag with 40 packages of synthetic drugs,” the publication says.
The patrol car’s dash cam captured the incident. The footage shows how a foreign car hits a traffic cop and drives away, while the traffic police officer quickly gets up and begins the chase.
According to the channel, law enforcement officers detained the offender and took him to the department, where five administrative offense reports were drawn up against the man and two criminal cases were opened under articles on the illegal sale of narcotic substances and the use of violence against a government official.
Earlier, a traffic accident paralyzed the center of Moscow.
