A 31-year-old man is appearing at Auckland District Court on Wednesday after fleeing from police in a car chase across central Auckland.
Police said after failing to stop on the Northwestern Motorway for having mismatching plates, the man was apprehended at Dress Smart shopping centre in Onehunga.
Auckland City road policing manager Acting Inspector Scott Jones said the man was driving a stolen vehicle.
"It's fortunate that neither the public nor police staff suffered any injuries as a result of the man's alleged actions."
The man faced charges of aggravated assault, reckless driving, failing to stop, and unlawfully taking a motor vehicle.
Police said he was also sought in relation to other active court matters, including aggravated robbery.
