The dramatic series of events began when the Vauxhall crashed into a car driven by another member of the public in Lisnaskea, 11 miles from Enniskillen.
The police car was trying to stop the Vauxhall after the first crash when the driver moved behind them and rammed into its rear, MailOnline understands.
The Vauxhall driver then drove into Eniskillen and got out of the car and threw a cone at an officer before he was arrested.
It is not clear who filmed both videos.
Inspector Brown, from the Police Service for Northern Ireland, said: ‘Shortly after 4:05 pm today (Wednesday, 30 September) police received reports of an assault and disturbance in the East Bridge Street area of Enniskillen.
‘A man has since been arrested and is currently in custody assisting police with their enquiries in relation to the incident. During the arrest an officer received minor injuries for which no hospital treatment was required.
‘The incident is being linked to two earlier road traffic collisions which both occurred at around 11am this morning.
