Multiple Cars Hit During High-Speed Police Chase

MELBOURNE, VICTORIA, JUL 11 – The 36-year-old man was arrested after a police chase involving erratic driving through multiple suburbs and leaping from the moving van, sustaining non-life-threatening injuries, police said.

  • A man leapt from a moving van during a police pursuit in Point Cook and was later arrested after the vehicle stopped just after 1pm.
  • The pursuit started after a van was reported stolen on St Kilda Road at 5.40am, prompting police to deploy both helicopter and ground units across multiple Melbourne suburbs.
  • Footage shows the van crashing into poles and vehicles, shedding parts, before the suspect jumped and was hit by a police car during the chaotic chase.
  • The suspect sustained non-life-threatening injuries, was treated by paramedics at the scene, and transported to hospital under police guard, with no serious injuries reported.
  • Acting Inspector Pickering states charges are being finalised; police plan to interview the suspect and aim to detain him longer to prevent further risks.
