After an arrest, the male suspect was seen by police in custody on the motorway. He is now charged with drug usage while driving and attempted murder.
Two officers stopped the driver in April 16 on suspicion of drunk driving, according to the local police.
The driver, instead of stopping his vehicle and attempting to hit both policemen with it, rammed the car into them. One policeman had to jump onto the bonnet in order to avoid being injured.
In Navi Mumbai in Maharashtra State (India), the suspect drug-driver took him on a 12.4 mile death ride.

According to police, the suspect drove the car at high speeds. Later the officer was thrown out.
Siddheshwar Mali (37), a traffic police officer, was lucky to only suffer minor injuries.
Officer’s co-workers had raced after the suspect, trying to catch up to their friend. The man was still attached to his car and fighting to save his life.
