He remains in police custody
A man has been arrested after a number of cars were damaged by a vehicle travelling at high speed in Co Tyrone.
Police received a report at around 9.50pm on Friday of a possible drink-driver in the Melmount Road area of Strabane.
It was reported that a black Seat Leon had been travelling at high speed along the A5 in the direction of Omagh. It attempted to overtake another vehicle in front and collided twice with a blue Jeep before driving off.
The Seat, which had sustained significant damage, then stopped on the Melmount Road and the driver made off on foot.
Officers attended the scene and a 29-year-old man was located on the A5 and arrested on suspicion of assault on police, criminal damage and driving when unfit through drink or drugs.
He was further arrested on suspicion of a number of other driving offences, including dangerous driving, failing to stop and driving while disqualified.
He remains in police custody. The PSNI has appealed for information.
