A motorist forces a border checkpoint and is riddled with bullets

A 54-year-old man tried to evade a checkpoint at the Dutch-German border near Bad Nieuweschans and Bunde. Bad idea: the German police opened fire, perforating the bodywork of his vehicle, with around twenty hits on the hood alone. After a pursuit, he was arrested. His vehicle was seized, and a female officer was injured in the process. It is not known why he fled, or whether he was carrying anything illegal.
