A search is underway to locate the driver of a vehicle after a police car was rammed at Springfield.
At about 9:30pm on Sunday May 24, officers from Brisbane Water Police District were patrolling Erina, when they noticed a Nissan Elgrand driving erratically.
When police attempted to stop the Nissan on Sherwood Drive, Springfield, it stopped momentarily, before reversing into the front of the police vehicle.
The Nissan drove forward, before reversing into the police car a second time.
The Nissan drove a short distance and conducted a U-turn, before reversing into the front of the police vehicle a third time and then fled the scene.
The two male senior constables in the vehicle were uninjured and called for assistance.
The Nissan was located nearby on Willow Rd a short time later.
A perimeter was established, and with assistance from the Dog Unit and PolAir, a search commenced to locate the driver of the vehicle – who is still outstanding.
