Banned driver with four burst tyres is bitten by police dog after reversing into patrol car while fleeing officers

SERIAL CRIMINAL IS LOCKED UP

- By MARK NAYLOR

A RECKLESS banned driver hurtled around roads at high speed and continued desperately trying to flee from the police during a frightening late-night chase despite having four burst tyres and driving “on the rims”.

Serial criminal Dillan Foster reversed into the police car after midnight and later “swerved from side to side” before finally coming to a stop.

He hurriedly tried to escape from the scene but he was caught by a police dog - and was bitten on his leg, Hull Crown Court heard.

Foster, 22, of Tedworth Road, off Holderness Road, east Hull, but recently in custody on remand, admitted dangerous driving, driving while disqualified, theft, attempted burglary and having no insurance on August 12 as well as failing to provide a blood specimen on August 13.

He also admitted dangerous driving and driving while disqualified on July 6. He admitted handling stolen goods on June 28 and damaging a door and window on July 23.

Maya Hanson, prosecuting, said that police spotted a BMW car, with a damaged front tyre, head into a roundabout from the Bilton direction just after midnight on August 12. It sped from Saltshouse Road, east Hull, towards Bransholme and the driver reacted to seeing the police.
