Police attempted to stop the vehicle, but it failed to stop, pulling into a driveway on Mount Elliot Pl.

The Lexus reversed, attempting to ram the unmarked police vehicle, before accelerating away.

A pursuit took place along Tapley Rd, Mount Elliott, and onto The Ridgeway, Lisarow, before the Lexus was allegedly involved in a collision with a Mazda 3.

No one was injured.

Officers attached to Brisbane Water Proactive Crime Unit arrested a 33-year-old man on Maidens Brush Rd, Wyoming, at about 11.30am on Wednesday, June 24.

He was taken to Gosford Police Station and charged with various offences.

The man was refused bail to appear at Gosford Local Court on Wednesday, June 23, where he was formally refused bail to reappear at the same court on Friday, July 9.
