A VEHICLE was left abandoned in Cowdenbeath after a shocking video emerged of a driver performing 'doughnuts' around a police car.

A dangerous driver taunted officers by circling their car numerous times in the car park outside Cowdenbeath FC's Central Park.

The road user was spotted driving at high speeds and fled in the black Mitsubishi before abandoning the vehicle nearby at Hillview street.

The vehicle has been recovered and enquiries are ongoing following Monday night's incident.
