A DRINK driver tried his luck by attempting to run away when he was pulled over by police in Salisbury.
In a video posted by @WiltsSpecOps on X, formerly Twitter, one determined man took his chance at escape after police stopped him for drink driving.
The incident took place at 10.50pm on Sunday, January 14 on Odstock Road.
Police officers gave chase on foot and, out of sight from the video, eventually caught and arrested the man.
