Belconnen, ACT, Nov. 10 -- ACT Policing issued the following media release:
A 27-year-old man will face court today after allegedly driving at police and hitting an officer when they attempted to arrest him last week.
About 2pm on Friday (7 November 2025), ACT Policing officers located the man, who was wanted in NSW on an outstanding arrest warrant, in Fyshwick.
Officers attempted to arrest him when he exited a store but he got into a vehicle and drove away, allegedly hitting one officer in the leg and driving at another as he fled.
Police in vehicles nearby activated their emergency lights and sirens but the man refused to pull over, driving on the wrong side of the road and almost colliding with other vehicles.
On Saturday afternoon (8 November 2025), police attended a residence in Ainslie and found the man on the roof of the home.
A short time later he surrendered to police and was placed under arrest.
The man, who was also subject to court ordered good behaviour obligations in the ACT, was charged with aggravated dangerous driving, failing to stop for police, and driving while disqualified. He is scheduled to face the ACT Magistrates Court today (Monday, 10 November 2025).
