A 25-year-old man from Midsomer Norton is due in court today (Tuesday 3 May) having been charged with a number of driving offences.
Macauley Tomlinson has been charged with two counts of causing serious injury by dangerous driving.
The charges relate to an incident involving a silver Ford car travelling between Bristol and Keynsham in the early hours of Sunday 1 May.
At just before midnight on Sunday, a member of the public contacted police after witnessing an incident in which a woman appeared to be pulled into a silver Ford car against her will on Anchor Road.
The Ford was pursued through Bristol city centre and onto the M32 before continuing onto the A4174 towards Keynsham. It was stopped by officers on Wellsway, Keynsham.
One of the occupants of the Ford left the scene and was located by officers nearby. He was arrested for multiple offences including dangerous driving and failing to stop for police.
During the course of the police pursuit, the Ford was involved in a collision with two pedestrians on St Augustine’s Parade who required medical attention for minor injuries.
A further collision occurred on the northbound carriageway of the M32 between the police car conducting the pursuit and third party vehicle. Three members of the public were taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Tomlinson was remanded ahead of appearing at Bristol Magistrates Court.
