A man allegedly carrying one kilogram of methamphetamine was arrested in the northern province of Lang Son Friday evening after firing several gun shots at police in an attempt to escape.

Police said they initially signaled Tran Ba Duc to stop his car for speeding, but he fled, shooting his gun at the officers chasing him.

After his car hit a house and flipped, he continued to run on foot and hid in a local house.

The police arrested him after a couple hours.

Police seized one kilogram of methamphetamine that Duc dropped during the chase.
