A chase between traffic police and a horse-draw wagon recently took place in the Belarusian city of Mogilev, when the driver ran a red light at an intersection.
Officers tried to stop the wagon and bring the drivers to justice, but the men in the wagon first ignored them and later tried to flee by leaving the paved road for a dirt path.
What became a medium-speed pursuit ended violently when one of the men fell from the cart and injured his head. He was later taken to the hospital.
During the chase, the men in the wagon violated traffic laws five different times.
