In the Belarusian city of Mozyr, in the Gomel region, there was a chase. And not just any chase – with the use of weapons. Like in a Hollywood action movie.

The fact is that the drunk driver ignored the traffic police signal about the need to stop.

Moreover, the citizen driving the Ford stepped on the gas. This is how the pursuit began, the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs reported on its Telegram channel.

According to the data released by the agency, the driver was driving aggressively and posed a real threat to road users.

When the chase participants found themselves outside the city, “inspectors decided to use their service weapons to stop” the car.

After repeated warnings, the policeman fired a shot into the air and then at the wheels of the American.

Only after that did he stop. It turned out that a 32-year-old local resident was driving, and he was drunk.

A medical examination showed 1.9 ppm of alcohol, the ministry clarified.

Nine administrative materials were drawn up against the citizen.

He was also punished with administrative arrest, a fine of 8,000 rubles, and deprivation of the right to drive all types of vehicles for a period of 5 years.

His car was confiscated and taken to a guarded parking lot, the Ministry of Internal Affairs summed up.
