Man charged over cop-car ramming

An 18-year-old man has been charged over an alleged ramming of a police car in Springvale.

Police had allegedly attended to a blue BMW without number plates on Springvale Road about 7.40pm on 25 September.

They had deployed a stop-stick under a rear wheel of the car, police say.

In fleeing the scene, the BMW driver drove over the stop-stick and crashed into a police car with two officers on board.

The BMW, carrying two youths, was last seen driving east on Virginia Street.

The police vehicle sustained “moderate” damage. The two officers were not injured, police say.

One of the youths was arrested the next day.

He was charged with reckless exposure of a police officer while driving, and reckless conduct endangering serious injury.

He was bailed to appear at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 18 November.
