ABC News News HomeSpearwood police chase: Tomahawk-wielding man drags woman from carShare Spearwood police chase: Tomahawk-wielding man drags woman from carTopic:Police A man has been arrested after a police chase through southern Perth. (By Grant Wynne ) Link copiedShareShare articleA man allegedly threatened a woman with a tomahawk in a shopping centre after leading police on a high-speed chase which resulted in three officers being injured in southern Perth. Police tried to stop a stolen car about 8:30am on the corner of Winterfold and Stock roads in Hamilton Hill. One person fled while another two people remained in the car as police gave chase. They deployed a stinger — a spiked metal track — across Hamilton Road, in Spearwood, puncturing the vehicle's tyres. But the driver managed to drive with deflated tyres to the nearby Phoenix Park Shopping Centre and abandon the vehicle. Police say the passenger fled into the shopping centre, but the driver, armed with a tomahawk, attacked a nearby car with a woman inside. He allegedly threw the weapon at the car before dragging the 46-year-old victim out of the vehicle. She was not injured. Officers tried to use a Taser on the man as he climbed into her car, but it missed, and he reversed the vehicle into three officers. One male officer sustained a laceration to his lower leg, another cuts to his arms and legs and a possible dislocated shoulder, while a female officer sustained cuts to her arms and legs and a possible concussion. The stolen car was later stopped by police on Stock Road, near Quarimor Road. The driver, a 23-year-old Hilton man, was taken into custody. The passenger, a 33-year-old Spearwood man, was arrested inside the shopping centre. Three police vehicles were damaged in the chase.
