Police pursue Umina man
Investigations into a police pursuit are continuing after a Umina man failed to stop for police on Thursday, June 27.
At about 4:30pm, police observed a man driving a motor cycle west on Central coast Highway, West Gosford.
The man was driving behind an unmarked police vehicle.
As police turned left onto Brisbane Water Dr, the man passed the police vehicle on the left of the lane and accelerated away.
Police recorded the registration number of the motorcycle and activated their warning devices.
The man failed to stop and continued driving south on Brisbane Water Dr, Point Clare, for a short time before he attempted to pass another vehicle on the left.
He clipped the nearside mirror of this vehicle, lost control and collided with the rear nearside of a parked motor vehicle.
This collision caused the man and his motorcycle to leave the roadway.
He immediately jumped from the motorcycle and ran south on Brisbane Water Dr while the bike came to rest against a brick wall.
The man was pursued on foot by police for a short distance where he violently resisted police.
Police say he threw punches at them and continued to wrestle before he was sprayed with Oleoresin capsicum spray.
After a short struggle the man was handcuffed, placed under arrest and cautioned.
He was conveyed to Gosford Police Station where police claim he made admissions to having used illegal drugs and a blood sample was obtained.
