A police spokeswoman said police saw a vehicle driving north-bound on the Southern Motorway at "dangerous speed", but officers decided not to pursue it.
The same vehicle was spotted in Crawford St a short time later, and police signalled for it to stop.
"The driver pulled over then attempted to flee on foot, before being taken into custody around 8:30am."
She said the 19-year-old had been summonsed to appear in the Dunedin District Court in relation to excess breath alcohol and dangerous driving.
