THE man behind the wheel of this supercar is facing a date with court.

Northumbria Police posted the photos on its Facebook page.

"Last week officers in Newcastle City Centre seized this silver Lambroghini Aventador after finding the driver was disqualified," they report.

The car was stopped on Clifton Street at which point the driver is alleged to have become abusive and aggressive towards officers.

"He was arrested for driving whilst disqualified and assaulting a police officer in the execution of their duty," wrote the police spokesman.

He is expected to appear in court in the New Year.
