A 49-year-old Upper Beaconsfield man has been arrested after allegedly ramming a police vehicle in a stolen Ford Ranger in Berwick about 11pm last night.
Police were called to a dispute between a male and female in a shopping centre carpark on Clyde Road, Berwick.
Investigators understand three men attempted to intervene in the dispute when it’s alleged the man threatened one of the men with a knife.
When police arrived, they directed the man to exit the Ford when the driver and sole occupant allegedly rammed into a police car before fleeing the scene north along Clyde Road.
Police tracked the Ford to Narre Warren North Road, Narre Warren North and successfully deployed stop sticks to stop the driver fleeing.
The 49-year-old Beaconsfield Upper man was arrested at the scene and will be interviewed this morning.
No one was injured during the ramming or subsequent arrest.
Police believe that the Ford Ranger was stolen from an address in Narre Warren on Saturday, December 14, at 4.45pm.
