A man is due to front court today following a pursuit and alleged attempted double carjacking in Maitland.
Police were called to brawl on O'Hearn Street at Tenambit around 11.30am on Monday where they were confronted by a man allegedly armed with a speargun.
He fled and led police on a pursuit, during which the man's car collided with a caged police vehicle.
Police say the man then attempted to carjack two vehicles in Melbourne Street, East Maitland while armed with a weapon.
The 36-year-old was arrested a short time later at a unit in Newcastle Street.
