Man bolts onto beach after police chase A MAN was arrested on Brighton beach after a ute hit a light pole during a police pursuit in the south last night. A POLICE pursuit at Brighton has resulted in the arrest of a 22 year-old male after he fled his vehicle and ran to the beach. Just after 9.30pm, the man driving a Commodore ute sped past an unmarked police car on Sturt Rd at Brighton. The driver allegedly refused to stop and was pursued south on Brighton Road, then through a shopping centre carpark onto Edwards St at Brighton. Moments later the Commodore hit a lit pole, with the male driver running off along the beach. A 22-year-old man from Warradale apprehended a short distance away and arrested and charged with numerous driving offences including driving at a speed dangerous to the public, failing to stop and driving without due care. He was bailed to appear in the Adelaide Magistrates Court at a later date.
