The police arrested and suspended the licence of a 66 year old man from Eindhoven for aggressive driving. The officers came across the man at around 10:10 on Wednesday afternoon on the A58 near Gilze. The officers were driving behind the man when he suddenly braked and showed them the middle finger. When they tried to pass him, he prevented it and again waved rude hand gestures at the cops. The officers signaled the man to stop. He initially ignored them, but eventually pulled over. The officers immediately demanded that the an hand his license over for dangerous driving. The man grabbed one of the officers and tried to throw him to the ground, shouting insults at him. Which is when the man was arrested. The suspect was taken to the police station.
