The two injured men fled the scene.
Tereora was found soon after. Police allege he assaulted an officer and ran off before being found choking a police dog to the point of unconsciousness.
A police helicopter spotted Koteka.
POLICE DEFEND OFFICERS
Waikato police have defended officers involved in the incident.
Hamilton city area commander Greg Nicholls said the pursuit was called off just as the crash happened.
He also defended the decision by the dog handler to fire a warning shot.
"When the officer came around the corner after being assaulted by this man who had failed to comply with the call to lie down and succumb to arrest, he sees this man choking his dog. In order to save his dog, to apprehend the man, the tactical options open to him at that stage were very limited."
Both men are awaiting surgery in Waikato Hospital for injuries sustained in the crash.
Mr Nicholls said the strangled dog, Louie, was being assessed by a local vet. Louie is 7 and half years old and due for retirement having "done a fair bit of work for police".
"He is a very well thought of dog amongst our staff and to see something like this happen to Loui is pretty sad for all our staff."
