Wellington police smashed their way into a car to arrest at least one person wearing a Mongrel Mob vest on a busy Porirua road.
The action was all caught on video by a member of the public and posted on the Wellington Live Facebook page this morning.
The video showstwo patrol cars blocking a silver Subaru station wagon in the middle of the road.
An officer then repeatedly bangs on the driver's door window of a car until it smashes.
He can then be seen running around to the passenger's side of the car, out of view. However, it appears they are struggling with someone on the ground.
Police said the incident followed a driver failing to stop for police after leaving a house during the execution of a police search warrant in Porirua earlier this morning.
Once the vehicle was finally stopped, the driver was arrested.
The driver, aged 16, faces driving and other charges and will appear before the youth court at a later date, while two other people arrested at the scene were released without charge.
