    A Napier man's been arrested accused of swinging a machete at police overnight

    A Napier man's been arrested accused of swinging a machete at police overnight


    Police say they approached the 21-year-old when he crashed into a fence in Awatoto, after driving at double the speed limit with his lights off.

    He chased officers with a machete, who eventually stopped him with pepper spray, after an attempt with a taser failed.

    He's being charged with threatening to kill, drunk driving, and assaulting Police, and is appearing in Hastings District Court today.
