A driver is wanted on Thursday after fleeing during a police check the day before near Dunkirk (North).
In his escape, the offender slightly injured a policeman and three passers-by, said the departmental security directorate.
A police crew tried to control a motorist who had tried to conceal his face as they approached around 10:15 a.m. Wednesday in the port city.
The man pretended to stop before restarting, hitting a policeman who had gotten out of the car to check him, and the police quickly lost track of him, dropping the charges according to the same source.

Three passers-by then came forward to police, saying they had been hit by the fleeing car: a 68-year-old pedestrian fell while dodging the vehicle which was on a sidewalk to avoid a slowdown and a car with two people inside was hit when he ran a red light.
