A man is due to face court today (Friday 9 February, 2024) accused of leading police on a dramatic pursuit through Newcastle West.
Just after 3 yesterday afternoon, Police attempted to stop the driver of a vehicle wanted in relation to alleged domestic violence offences.
Officers began pursuing the car along Hunter Street when the driver failed to stop as directed.
A short time later the black Honda Accord crashed into the corner of a building at the intersection of Florence Avenue.
The driver fled on foot and was quickly arrested.
The 34-year-old is facing Newcastle Local Court today on several charges including domestic violence, assault police, driving, traffic and drug offences.
