Motorcycle driver rams police car Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au A POLICE member had to dive out of the way to avoid being run down by a motorcycle driver in Chelsea Heights last week. At around 11.40pm, 8 May, two detectives on the Frankston Freeway
saw two motorcycles speed past them. Police believe that two bikes had been travelling along Peninsula Link at over 200kmph. The motorcycle drivers exited at Thames Promenade, and were later spotted by police at the intersection of Wells Road and Springvale Road. One driver turned onto Edithvale Road and
was intercepted by police. When police intercepted the man, he allegedly rammed his bike into the open passenger door of the police car while one officer was getting out. Police allege that the driver then drove at the detective, forcing him to take evasive action and dive into the car to avoid a collision. The motorcy-
clist then rammed the door of the car repeatedly. The driver lost his balance while attempting to flee, and was arrested. The man, a 43-year-old of no fixed address, was taken to hospital under police guard. The second driver continued along Springvale Road, driving on the
wrong side of the road. He has not been arrested. Detectives wish to speak to anyone who saw or may have dashcam footage of the motorcycles on Peninsula Link, Frankston Freeway, or Springvale Road. Anyone with information can contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or crimestoppersvic.com.au
