A senior constable followed the car into an underground carpark and stopped in front of the Holden, which had three passengers inside.
‘The Holden driver repeatedly rammed the police vehicle until there was room to exit the carpark and drove from the scene,’ the spokesperson said.
‘The 30-year-old male senior constable was uninjured. The police vehicle sustained significant damage and was towed from the scene.’
Police launched an extensive search of the area and found the Holden abandoned on a street in Wodonga in Victoria, a ten-minute drive from Albury’s city centre.
The car is due to undergo forensic examination with officers from the Murray River Police District urging anyone with dashcam footage to come forward.
