Man's attempt to escape police didn't go to plan

BY JESSICA ROUSE

A man will face Belmont Local Court later this month after an attempt to evade police didn't work out in his favor.

The 40-year-old man reversed his car into a police car at his home on the Pacific Highway yesterday morning after police turned up to arrest him over alleged domestic violence matters.

He didn't come quietly reversing his white Holden utility into the police car.

The officer escaped with only minor injuries and didn't require treatment.

He was arrested and taken to Belmont Police Station where he was charged with alleged domestic violence telecommunication offences, malicious damage and using a motor vehicle to avoid apprehension.
