A grandson of Red Bull's late co-creator Chaleo Yoovidhaya has been arrested on suspicion of running over a policeman with a Ferrari in Bangkok.

The Thai police officer died after he and his motorbike were dragged some distance down a road. Police said they had followed a petrol trail to the family estate where they detained Vorayuth Yoovidhaya, 27.

Bangkok's police chief took over the inquiry as a lower-ranked officer was alleged to have covered up the matter.

The police superintendent involved was transferred to another post after a bogus suspect was detained.
