PSP arrests rental car driver after 6 km chase in Lisbon

Correio da Manhã12 September 2026 at 12:23

The Public Security Police arrested a rental car driver in Lisbon after a chase of approximately 6 kilometres. The man ignored a stop order on Avenida de Ceuta, initiating a pursuit that only ended in the Telheiras area.

The driver is suspected of six crimes, although the article does not specify which ones. The police intervention resulted in two injured people, without identifying who these victims were.

The incident took place in the Portuguese capital and involved a rental vehicle, which may indicate that the driver was not necessarily the legal responsible party for the car. The PSP proceeded to intercept the fugitive in the Telheiras area, ending the pursuit.

Why this matters

This incident directly affects residents of the Telheiras area and Avenida de Ceuta, who may have witnessed or been affected by the chase. The existence of six suspected crimes suggests a pattern of dangerous behaviour that raises questions about the control of rental vehicles and road safety in the city. The fact that there were injured people during the police intervention may raise concerns about the PSP's approach procedures in similar situations.
