A man has been arrested and charged after allegedly using his car to “deliberately” ram several police vehicles, leaving three officers with injuries.
Police went to a home on Edinburgh Rd at Benowa about 6.30am on Tuesday, after learning a man they wanted to question about unrelated matters was at the property.
Officers allegedly found him seated in a stationary car and intercepted the vehicle.
It is alleged he was asked to exit the car but refused, before he “deliberately drove” into two police cars and crashed into a tree.
He was arrested and taken to hospital.
“He did not sustained any injuries,” a Queensland Police spokesman said.
Three officers suffered minor abrasions in the collision and went to hospital for treatment.
The two police vehicles were damaged.
A Benowa man 35, has been charged with three counts of serous assault police officers and one count of damaging an emergency vehicle when operating a motor vehicle, endangering police when driving a motor vehicle and drink driving.
He is due to appear in the Southport Magistrates Court on Wednesday.
