Three men are on the run after a high speed pursuit through the Newcastle CBD.
Patrolling police noticed a white Subaru speeding near the intersection of Newcomen Street and Reserve Road just before 3.00am on Thursday.
They attempted to pull over the car but the driver sped off.
The officers began pursuing the vehicle, with speeds reaching 100 kilometres per hour in a 60 zone down Darby Street.
The car stopped in Greenslope Street where the three men got out and fled with the officers in hot pursuit, but they managed to get away.
Police suspect the car was stolen.
