Police later discovered the driver had outstanding warrants and tried to get him out of the car, but he drove off.

The sergeant identified the driver as Jason Bailen, 49.

During the pursuit, Bailen rear-ended the back of one of the police cruisers, the sergeant said.

An officer stopped the vehicle during a successful pit maneuver about three minutes later. Bailen allegedly ran away on foot, but officers eventually caught up to him and took him into custody.

No one was injured in this chase.

The Philippines said on Wednesday it would not stand in the way if former President Rodrigo Duterte wants to surrender to the International Criminal Court, and would be obliged to comply with any international arrest warrant over his "war on drugs". During a congressional hearing on Wednesday into the bloody crackdown on narcotics that killed thousands of Filipinos, the mercurial Duterte said he was not scared of the ICC and told it to "hurry up" on its investigation into possible crimes against humanity. The office of the current President Ferdinand Marcos Jr issued a statement hours later indicating it would be willing to consider handing Duterte over if an Interpol request was made.
