A man faces multiple charges for driving into two police cars as they responded to a family harm event in Central Otago yesterday.
Sergeant Derek Ealson said officers were at an address because of a family harm event, when a Toyota Landcruiser drove into the two police cars just before 6pm yesterday.
Damage to both cars was minor and the officers were not injured.
The man then drove toward Tarras on the Tarras-Cromwell Road, then to Wanaka, before travelling through to Lowburn and Pisa Moorings, where he was found and arrested.
A 35-year-old man was charged with assault, burglary and driving charges, and was scheduled to appear at Queenstown District Court today.
Police want to hear from anyone who might have video of the incident, the Landcruiser travelling on the road yesterday, or the man's arrest.
