McFarlane recognized the vehicle after seeing it on the news and later discovered that he had sold it back to Arnold Clark, a car dealership.

The car had been "cursed" to McFarlane, who had to spend a lot of money fixing it.

The driver is being held on suspicion of criminal damage and dangerous driving, and the incident is not being treated as terror-related.
