A 22-year-old resident of Lakiya, a Bedouin town located near Beersheba, was arrested on Friday night after refusing to identify himself, fleeing from the police and eventually ramming into a police blockade, Israel Police reported.
Police noticed the man acting "in a way which raised their suspicion" at a gas station near Arad around midnight.
When asked to identify himself, the man reportedly fled the scene in a manner which one police officer reportedly perceived as life-threatening, at which point he began shooting his weapon in the direction of the 22-year-old's car.
The man was able to evade police initially, taking police on a chase through Route 31 before ramming into a police blockade near the Bedouin village of Mulada, also known as Sa'wa.
As a result of the ramming, four Border Police reserves fighters were lightly injured and evacuated to Soroka Medical Center in Beersheba for medical treatment.
