comment
A chase scene trope wherein Bob (the chased) runs/drives through an area containing people potentially hostile to both him and Charlie (the chaser), in the hopes of slowing the chaser down. Usually this involves riling them up somehow. If it fails, Bob ends up Chased by Angry Natives.

All Guardsmen Party: The Guardsmen are trying to return to base, but are being tailed by a very aggressive traffic cop. Not willing to expose themselves either by revealing the base or gunning down a police officer, they instead drive a few laps through the middle of a gunfight between some Hive gangs. Their van only takes a few incidental bullets, while the cop is deliberately shot down and swarmed by pipe-wielding kids. When he shows up later, the cop is pissed.

At least one Redwall novel has the heroes evade capture by stirring up hornets or wasps and running just as the vermin approach.

The Dresden Files:
This is awkwardly done by Harry in the book Small Favor when a huge snow storm has hit most of Chicago. Harry and a friend head to the train station to acquire something when they are beset upon by hobs, small imp-like monsters beholden to the Winter Queens. While they are handling these monsters and protecting people, one of the Gruffs, a Summer Fae assassin who has been trying to chase him, arrives in the form of a 10ft or taller goat-man. Summer Fae and Winter Fae have a deep dislike of each other at the best of times. So, Harry tricks the hobs into noticing the wounded Gruff and let nature take its course.
In Changes this was discussed and Harry has to vehemently deny this was his intention. He explains to the native party he had no way of knowing that when he was escaping Red Court vampires pursuing him in the Chicago field office of the FBI, and he opened a door to the spirit world to escape, he would land in the private dining hall of the Erlking, a powerful Fae who has wanted to kill Harry ever since he trapped the Erlking in a magic circle. The Red Court vampires try to claim this whole thing is a plot by Harry to get the Erlking to kill them in Harry's place. The concept of being used like that angers the Erlking, who decides to let the parties face trial by combat. The victor will win his protection as a guest, the other will be treated like an invader.

In the Cowboy Bebop episode Stray Dog Strut, Hakim (the bounty of the week), Spike, and two scientists are all chasing after Ein on foot. Ein runs under a card table where a couple of guys are playing chess as a crowd watches. Hakim, who's enormously tall, easily clears the table, leaving the group surprised. Then Spike simply crashes through the table. By the time the two scientists arrive, they find their way blocked by a bunch of angry people.

Hermione attempts this in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, running through the centaurs' territory in the hopes that Umbridge will be dealt with by them. However, it turns out the centaurs do not appreciate being used that way, even if the target is the villainous Dolores Umbridge. They carry off Umbridge, but then turn on her and Harry.

In Hitman vs Lobo, Hitman uses this trick, shooting Lobo in the eyes (forcing him to follow by smell until they regenerate) and leading him in a merry chase through all the local gang meeting places, dispatching several of his personal foes in the ensuing chaos. Then he leads him into an actual ambush by Six-pac and his squad... The gods of plot are with him and the most incompetent band of super-misfits on the planet actually wins.

In one of the Kaamelott comics, Arthur and co are climbing to the top of a mountain to defeat an evil necromancer. Along the way, they come across a gigantic Rodent of Unusual Size, fortunately asleep. When things go wrong at the summit, they slide back down on improvised sleds, hurling stones at the rat as they pass. When the pursuing necromancer arrives, the rat is awake and angry, and proceeds to eat him.

In another story, Frank is driving around town killing various gang members and criminals. One group survives the initial attack and gives chase. Frank gets rid of them by driving through a Mafia meeting without stopping, the gangstas following aren't so lucky.

Valheim: Enemies from different biomes will attack each other on sight (and some are native to certain biomes but can spawn in different ones, such as skeletons in the Black Forest), so it's possible to kite pursuers into a group of hostiles and escape both.
It's also a good way to collect resources from hard-to-hit enemies killed by others (e.g. you'll often find deerskins and meat lying on the ground courtesy of the skeletons guarding a nearby tomb).
The Mistlands update added dverger outposts, which contain valuable components. Since the only way to get them is to break the crate, which causes the dverger to (understandably) turn on you, and since the dverger are some of the few enemies who don't try to murder you on sight, many players get around the ethical dilemma by kiting local enemies like Seekers into the dverger's base, then coming back to loot the place once they're all dead.

In MMOs such as City of Heroes. it's possible to use this as a PK technique, by using a combination of long-range attacks and stealth to 'pull' a powerful group of monsters on top of enemy players.
