It's straight out of a reality TV series: A driver tried to flee police in Luxembourg City around 12.35pm on Monday afternoon.

During a police check, the driver sped off abruptly, prompting several police units to initiate a pursuit.

The attempted escape started out in the city centre, then south towards the A13 motorway, before turning west in the direction of Dudelange-Burange.

The driver rammed two police vehicles, leaving them both severely damaged. The second police car was used to block the driver's path, which was successful.

The man still tried to flee on foot, but was overpowered by officers.

He was arrested on the orders of the public prosecutor and will be presented to the investigating judge on Tuesday.

It is further reported that two police officers were injured in the pursuit, although no more information was given.
