A driver pretended to pull over for police on EastLink in Noble Park North before fleeing from them on the wrong side of the road.
The officers tried to intercept the Mitsubishi Lancer for traffic offences about 2.20am on Tuesday 27 June.
Greater Dandenong CIU Detective Sergeant Dean Hedge said the driver slowed down in the emergency lane, and police believed they were going to get out of the car.
The officers exited their car, and the driver “took off at a fast rate of speed”.
Det Sgt Hedge said that the Lancer crossed onto the wrong side of the road on Wellington Road at one point, driving into oncoming traffic.
Police did not engage a pursuit. No one was injured.
