A man is in custody in Western Australia after allegedly abducting a woman and crashing a car on Albany Highway in Cannington following a high-speed police chase.
The pursuit came after an earlier incident in Thornlie where three cars were involved in a minor collision.
Inspector Mike Valentine says police believe the man was attempting to stop a car in which the woman was in and he then forced her from one vehicle into another.
He says the woman is thought to know the man.
"We now have the driver in custody and there was a young woman in the vehicle, who we believe may have been the victim of the abduction, and we've taken her to hospital at this stage," he said.
Police will continue their inquiries.

as posted on TheWest
A 25-year-old Huntingdale man will appear in court today after crashing the car he was driving during a high-speed chase through Perth’s southern suburbs.
At 11pm last night police tried to stop a Holden Commodore on Caulfield Street, Thornlie.
The driver accelerated and reached 140km/h while attempting to evade police.
When the driver reached Spencer Road and attemptedto turn onto Nicholson Road in Ferndale he lost control of his car, which rode a median strip and ploughed through a give-way sign before sliding across the intersection and cannoning into a taxi.
The taxi driver and passenger were unharmed.
The driver of the Commodore and his male passenger were taken into custody, and the 25-year-old was treated at Royal Perth Hospital for a dislocated ankle and several lower leg fractures.
