SYDNEY, N.S. -- A Cape Breton man faces several charges following a police chase.

Cape Breton Regional Police say they spotted a car speeding on a Sydney street around 3:30 a.m. Saturday.

Staff Sgt. Paul Muise says the driver refused to stop the vehicle and continued to flee police onto the highway between Sydney and Glace Bay.

Muise says several police vehicles became involved in the pursuit before the driver left the car and was arrested following a short chase in the nearby community of Dominion.

He says there were no injuries during the arrest.

A 19-year-old man from Little Lorraine is scheduled to appear in court Monday on charges including impaired driving and assault with intent to resist arrest.
